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.)

Napoleon III Vase in Porcelain of Paris Mounted in Gilt Bronze with Espagnolette
Napoleon III Vase in Porcelain of Paris Mounted in Gilt Bronze with Espagnolette

Napoleon III Vase in Porcelain of Paris Mounted in Gilt Bronze with Espagnolette

By Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres

Located in SAINT-OUEN-SUR-SEINE, FR

This exceptional monumental vase in porcelain of Paris, conceived in the spirit of the Sèvres Manufactory’s productions, is quite characteristic of the Napoleon III style . The long neck of the shape is extremely rare, as well as the gilt bronzes’ richness of ornamentation. Its dimensions and its important bronze mount indicate a ceremonial piece, of supreme luxury, comparable to those the Manufactory exhibited at the World's Fairs. Evoking the aristocratic art of the Ancien Regime in many ways, this vase pays tribute to the refinements of the 18th century, and could have been commissioned to decorate the mansion of a 19th century personality. Indeed, the “Celestial blue” background, embellished with gold arabesques, is characteristic of the porcelains from the Royal Manufactory of Vincennes as early as 1753, which became the Sèvres Manufactory. It is a famous blue, difficult to obtain, which served to decorate the first service delivered to Louis XV. The lively shapes of the bronze base also evoke the art of the ornamentalists in Louis XV’s time, such as Jean-Claude Duplessis or Gouthiere, who were in charge of drawing gilt bronze mounts for China porcelain. The bronze mount of our vase is hence very close to the Duplessis’ ornementations. The two espagnolettes, with sheathed busts of women...

French Alabaster Monkey Sculpture, Napoleon III Style, 19th Century
French Alabaster Monkey Sculpture, Napoleon III Style, 19th Century

French Alabaster Monkey Sculpture, Napoleon III Style, 19th Century

Located in Saint-Amans-des-Cots, FR

A charming French alabaster sculpture created in France during the late 19th century, this delightful work depicts a monkey quietly smoking a pipe, blending humor, craftsmanship, and remarkable naturalism. Animalier subjects enjoyed great popularity during the Belle Époque, and this sculpture perfectly captures the era's fascination with expressive animals rendered with lifelike detail and refined artistic quality. Expertly carved from fine alabaster, the sculpture features beautifully modeled fur, expressive facial features, and a relaxed pose that gives the monkey an unmistakable sense of personality. The realistic glass eyes bring the figure to life, creating an engaging focal point that reflects the exceptional attention to detail characteristic of French sculptors of the period. The warm tones and translucent quality of the alabaster further enhance the elegance and sculptural depth of the composition. Measuring 9.8 inches high (25 cm), 6.7 inches wide (17 cm), and 4.4 inches deep (11.2 cm), this sculpture is perfectly sized for display on a desk, library shelf, mantel, or cabinet. It remains in good antique condition, with only minor scratches and small chips to the base that are consistent with its age and do not detract from its overall beauty or decorative appeal. Whimsical animal sculptures...
