1876 Centennial Exhibition, J & L. Lobmeyr Ormolu Mounted Ruby Glass Centerpiece
By J. & L. Lobmeyr Company
Located in Queens, NY
1876 Centennial Exhibition, J & L. Lobmeyr Exceptional Ormolu Mounted Bohemian Ruby Glass Centerpiece This exceptional Bohemian ruby red glass centerpiece, by he renowned Viennese glass manufacturer J. & L. Lobmeyr, exemplifies the firm's mastery in combining classical aesthetics with innovative design. Created circa 1876, this piece was showcased at the Centennial International Exhibition in Philadelphia, reflecting the era's fascination with classical motifs and superior craftsmanship. The centerpiece adopts a form inspired by admired Greek patterns, characterized by its elegant proportions and harmonious contours. The exquisite ormolu handles, reminiscent of Urbino vase designs, are artfully crafted as serpents with their heads pressed flat upon the rim in a vigilant posture, while their sinuous bodies attach gracefully to the bowl, culminating in finely detailed finials. This serpentine motif not only enhances the visual allure but also imbues the piece with symbolic significance, as snakes often represent protection and eternal life in classical iconography.​ Encircling the vessel is an expansive frieze featuring intricate scrollwork and figural representations. At the center of this decorative band stands a winged female figure, flanked by conventionally stylized lions, a composition that evokes themes of strength and guardianship prevalent in ancient art. The engraving is executed with extraordinary precision, with each leaf and tendril rendered in minute detail, showcasing the unparalleled skill of the artisans. The Centennial International Exhibition of 1876 in Philadelphia was a seminal event, marking the first World's Fair held in the United States. It celebrated the nation's centennial and served as a global stage for artistic and industrial achievements. J. & L. Lobmeyr's participation in this exhibition underscored their commitment to excellence and innovation in glassmaking. Pieces such as this centerpiece would have captivated audiences with their blend of historical inspiration and contemporary artistry, reflecting the 19th-century penchant for reviving classical forms through modern techniques. Founded in 1823 by Josef Lobmeyr, the company quickly established itself as a purveyor of fine glassware, earning the distinction of becoming the Imperial Court Supplier. Under the stewardship of Josef's sons, Josef and Ludwig, the firm expanded its artistic horizons, collaborating with eminent designers and embracing diverse stylistic influences, including Islamic and Persian motifs. Their innovative approach and dedication to quality garnered international acclaim, with their works featured in prestigious institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and most importantly The Corning Museum of Glass. This Bohemian ruby red glass centerpiece with ormolu...

Stunning 19th century French Empire, neoclassical/Rococo Revival style Marquetry vitrine or display cabinet, of large proportions!! A real statement piece! Made of a fabulous variety of veneers, including kingwood, satinwood, tulipwood, harewood and walnut with quality classical ormolu mounts. It has ebonized pillars in the Empire style, with walnut and exotic hardwood friezes in the Rococo style. Double glass doors to middle section and single glass doors on either side. The glass on the doors are framed in ormolu banding. Floral Marquetry panels on front and parquetry on the sides. The front central section is a pullout / pull-out drawers with gorgeous walnut frieze panel and original carved walnut knobs. Scrolling pelmet on the top in 3 sections banded in ormolu beading. Scrolling base with cabriolet feet and ormolu mounts on base. Various ormolu mounts, floral mounts, mounts of Baachus and mounts of neoclassical female figures. In 3 sections. with 2 side cabinets and large central section with 3 section pelmet, stunning piece!!! The quality ormolu mounts are marked with the letter “R” and what appears to be “FR 678”. We were originally of the belief that this piece might have been made at the very end of the 19th century, but having regard to the quality of workmanship throughout this piece we are of the opinion that it was most likely made in the third quarter of the 19th century, circa 1870 and by an obviously top quality Parisienne maker with a surname beginning with “R”. It is definitely in the style of David Roentgen who was known for his Rococo/neoclassical styles. David Roentgen, (born Aug. 11, 1743-died Feb. 12, 1807, Wiesbaden, Duchy of Nassau), cabinetmaker to Queen Marie-Antoinette of France; under his direction the family workshop at Neuwied (near Cologne), founded by his father, Abraham Roentgen, became perhaps the most-successful firm of furniture production in the 18th century. After succeeding his father as head of the Neuwied workshop in 1772, Roentgen strove to broaden their clientele, an ambition that brought him first to Hamburg and ultimately to Paris (1774), where in 1779 he was spectacularly successful in selling his finest furniture to King Louis XVI of France for £3,300 to £4,000, an unprecedented sum for the time. Appointed cabinetmaker to the queen, Roentgen was granted admission (1780) as maître-ébéniste (master cabinetmaker) to the trade corporation of Paris cabinetmakers, making it possible for him to keep in Paris a stock of the furniture manufactured at Neuwied. Thus he was able to compete with such great cabinetmakers as Jean-Henri Riesener and Adam Weisweiler, reputedly his former pupil at Neuwied. After his first visit to St. Petersburg, Empress Catherine II the Great bought huge quantities of his furniture; King Frederick William II of Prussia was also his client. When in 1795 the French Revolutionary armies threatened to cross the Rhine, Roentgen evacuated his establishment and moved his stock farther inland. Unfortunately, he lost everything in his Parisian salon and in his Neuwied workshop, both of which were sacked by Republican troops. He was crushed, despite his appointment as court furnisher to the king of Prussia. Although he never succeeded in starting production again, former apprentices of his whom he helped to establish in the German cities of Berlin (David Hacker...

Antique Ormolu Clocks, Lamps and Other Furniture and Decorative Objects for Sale

Antique ormolu furniture and decorative objects can be incorporated into a variety of spaces, and while demand for the material and/or technique was at its peak in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries, ormolu is still widely loved by designers and collectors today.

What is ormolu?

Ormolu is a brilliant form of decorative trickery. To the untrained eye, ormolu clocks, jewelry boxes and other ormolu furniture and decor look like they're made of solid gold. But those in the know recognize ormolu — or elaborate bronze gilding — as having been essential to French design in the 18th and 19th centuries as a cornerstone of the neoclassical and Empire styles.

“Most commonly, ormolu refers to a bronze object that has been covered with gold, typically 18 karat or 24 karat,” explains Jamie Sinai, director of the antiques specialist Mayfair Gallery, in London. “For that reason, ormolu is sometimes called gilt bronze or, in French, bronze doré. Strictly speaking, however, the term ormolu also denotes the technique of applying gold to a metal.”

“The word comes from the French or moulu, which translates as ‘ground or powdered gold’ — the form the gold takes before it is applied to a metal surface.”

From the court of King Louis XVI to that of Napoleon I, the French elite snapped up furniture mounted with ormolu, as well as sconces, candelabra and table lamps made from the material. “As the French reputation for supreme art, architecture and furniture developed, the craze for ormolu spread across Europe,” adds Sinai.

Today, antiques collectors and interior designers continue to prize ormolu for its extraordinary craftsmanship and history-infused glamour. 

“This wondrous material was highly sought after in France as the ultimate luxury. It magically resembled solid gold and sparkled under candlelight,” says Sinai.
