Napoleon III Decorative Objects

NAPOLEON III STYLE

Under Napoleon III’s rule, Paris underwent a great rebuilding overseen by Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann, which created grand avenues and lavish landmarks like the Paris Opera. Antique Napoleon III–style furniture was flamboyant and eclectic. It was also known as Second Empire style since it followed and referenced the Empire style of his uncle Napoleon I.

Developing from 1852–70, Napoleon III furniture was plush and ornate, matching the fashion for masked balls and socializing in salons. It borrowed freely from earlier French styles including Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI as well as aesthetics from around the world, from antiquity to Asian art. As writer Gustave Claudin remarked in 1867, the country’s architects worked in “a style which one would be tempted to call neo-Greco-Gothico-Pompadour-Pompeian.”

Napoleon III chairs were completely covered with velvet and lined with tassels; pouf footstools invited people to put up their feet. Sofas were upholstered with tapestries, and beds were adorned with gilt bronze and theatrical canopies. The addition of conservatories to homes led to new indoor-outdoor furniture, while the spirit of hygiene promoted by Baron Haussmann inspired bright, floral motifs.

Although the most ostentatious designs were for the elite, as seen in the Napoleon III apartments preserved in the Louvre, where red velvet, gilding and chandeliers create a cacophony of luxury, these trends influenced homes across classes as manufacturing made design increasingly accessible. Papier-mâché furniture allowed for elaborate shapes that would have been difficult to carve in wood. The malleable material was painted with chinoiserie patterns and decorative designs. It was mass-produced by factories such as Jennens and Bettridge with varnishing and mother-of-pearl inlays creating an effect reminiscent of Asian lacquer. (Surfaces that had been “japanned” — a specialty of Jennens and Bettridge — were intended to resemble lacquer work that was created in East Asia.)

Paul-Édouard Delabrièrre, Bronze Group of Two Hounds, French Animalier, 19th C.
By Paul Edouard Delabriere
Located in New York, NY
Paul-Édouard Delabrièrre (French, 1829–1912), Bronze of Two Hounds, 19th Century An impressive 19th-century French bronze sculpture depicting two hounds, finely modeled with exceptional naturalism and detail, signed E. Delabrièrre. The dogs are shown in dynamic contrast: one with its head raised in alert attention, the other sniffing the ground, perfectly capturing the instinctive behavior and vitality of hunting dogs. The sculpture rests on an integral bronze base with a rich green patina and traces of gilt highlights, enhancing its surface depth and visual interest. Paul-Édouard Delabrièrre (1829–1912) was a prominent French animalier sculptor, part of the celebrated 19th-century movement that included Barye, Cain, and Fremiet. Initially trained as a painter, Delabrièrre turned to sculpture in 1848, debuting at the Paris Salon in 1857. He quickly gained recognition for his energetic and lifelike portrayals of animals, particularly hunting dogs, horses, lions, and exotic wildlife. His works are noted for their anatomical accuracy, spirited compositions, and ability to capture both strength and subtle expression. Today, Delabrièrre’s bronzes...
