Louis XVI Serveware, Ceramics, Silver and Glass
LOUIS XVI STYLE
Reflecting the final era of royal opulence before the upheaval of the French Revolution, antique Louis XVI furniture features more angular shapes than the Rococo curves of the Louis XV style, harkening back to the imposing grandeur of Louis XIV.
Dating between 1750 and 1800, an era that overlapped with the last king of France whose reign was cut short by the guillotine, Louis XVI furniture, known as the goût grec, is emblematic of the neoclassical revision that French furniture underwent during the second half of the 18th century.
Authentic Louis XVI furniture characteristics include clean lines and carved details such as scrolls and acanthus flourishes that were inspired by ancient Greece and Rome. This was informed by a burgeoning interest in antiquity in the 18th century, owing to new archaeological excavations at sites including Pompeii and Herculaneum. It largely eclipsed the more East Asian–influenced ornamentation of Louis XV for something more geometric and symmetrical.
The Louis XVI style was defined by what was being created for the palatial rooms at Versailles and Fontainebleau, particularly for the queen, with cabinetmaker Jean-Henri Riesener being a favorite of Marie-Antoinette’s for his luxurious pieces accented with gilded bronze and marquetry. Furniture maker Jean-Baptiste-Claude Sené was also a major designer of the period, with his pieces for the royal residences adorned with giltwood and neoclassical touches like tapered columns for chair legs and laurel leaf carvings. Cabinetmaker Adam Weisweiler occasionally incorporated into his furniture porcelain panels produced by Sèvres, a popular manufacturer of European ceramics that served the crown with serveware, vases and other decorative objects.

Tetard - 165pc. Antique French 950 Sterling Silver Louis XVI Flatware Set !
Located in Wilmington, DE
Direct from Paris, an amazing 165pc., privately commissioned, sterling silver flatware set by one of France’s premier silversmiths “Tetard Freres”. Include a magnificent Louis XVI, 5-drawer lockable storage cabinet and 17 serving pieces and Mother-of-Pearl handles dessert knives. The history of French silversmithing is replete with illustrious names, each contributing to the nation's reputation for exceptional silver craftsmanship. Among them, the firm “Tetard Frères” stands as one of the most prominent and revered. Founded in the late 19th century, Tetard Frères has built a legacy on the strength of its unparalleled craftsmanship, exquisite design, and sterling silver products of the highest caliber. From royal patronage to numerous international awards and accolades, the firm has become synonymous with luxury, elegance, and durability. Their flatware sets, made of 950 sterling silver, like this amazing 165pc. set, are masterpieces that continue to captivate connoisseurs and collectors alike.
The Tetard Frères firm was founded in Paris in 1880 by Edmond Tetard, a master silversmith whose eye for detail and passion for innovation laid the groundwork for the company’s subsequent rise to prominence. Edmond Tetard's background as a skilled craftsman informed every aspect of his work, and his commitment to quality soon attracted clients from the upper echelons of society. Tetard Frères were known for pushing the boundaries of traditional silversmithing. Their craftsmanship blended meticulous hand-engraving, chasing, and repoussé techniques with a modern aesthetic sensibility. The brothers perfected the art of creating seamless transitions between functionality and beauty, particularly in their silver flatware, tableware, and decorative pieces.
Few silversmiths can boast the level of royal and aristocratic patronage that Tetard Frères enjoyed. Their reputation for exceptional craftsmanship earned them commissions from European royal courts, including the French aristocracy, making their works a staple at grand banquets, diplomatic functions, and royal households. The royal court of France was particularly fond of Tetard Frères' creations. Their silverware and table settings were often used in royal residences, including the Palais de l'Élysée, which served as the residence of the President of the French Republic. Additionally, Tetard Frères received commissions from international royalty, including the kings and queens of Belgium, Spain, and the Netherlands. Such patronage not only bolstered the firm's reputation but also further solidified its status as the premier silversmith of choice for the elite.
Tetard Frères' pieces were often customized to meet the specific requirements of their royal clients. These bespoke commissions included personalized monograms, coats of arms, and other emblems of nobility. By working closely with their aristocratic patrons, Tetard Frères ensured that each piece reflected the tastes and desires of their distinguished clientele. This bespoke approach to silversmithing added another layer of exclusivity to their work, making each item not just a work of art but also a symbol of personal identity and status. Perhaps one of the most iconic commissions was the creation of a silver flatware sets for the French government to gift to foreign dignitaries. These sets, often bearing intricate engravings or repoussé work, were designed to showcase the best of French artistry while simultaneously serving a practical purpose. The silverware produced for these occasions represented more than just luxury—it was a diplomatic tool, symbolizing France’s grandeur and cultural heritage.
Tetard Frères' exceptional work did not go unnoticed on the international stage. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they participated in several international exhibitions, where their craftsmanship was celebrated and rewarded. The firm's pieces were often displayed in prominent venues such as the Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair) in Paris, where they received numerous accolades for innovation, artistry, and technical skill. At the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle, Tetard Frères earned a gold medal for their outstanding work in silver. This recognition further solidified their place among the most prestigious silversmiths of the era. The firm's pieces on display included elaborate flatware sets, decorative vases, and intricate centerpieces, all of which showcased their ability to combine traditional French design with modern influences.
Perhaps the most iconic and enduring product of Tetard Frères' silversmithing is their 950 sterling silver flatware sets. These sets, like this stunning 165pc. set, represent the pinnacle of luxury, combining the finest materials with expert craftsmanship to create objects of both beauty and functionality. Tetard Frères’ flatware...
