19th Century Belgian Golden Oak Daybed

About the Item

Presenting a glorious and exceptionally rare 19th century Belgian golden oak daybed. Mid-19th century, circa 1860 and made of golden oak, this daybed is exceptional ! Full size with the most fabulous Lions Heads on the end pillars and mirrors in the pillars and center of the front side panel in a geometric diamond shape. Made in Belgium and was bought in Belgium and brought to the US in the 1980s. Probably made in or near Liege in Belgium where most craved Belgian furniture was made in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the 18th century the Liège style woodcarving was the most renowned in the world. We have never seen another one quite like it !! Condition is very good for its age. Kindly note: that it is only the bed frame that is being sold and not the mattress and bed linens, seen in the photos, which are for showroom display purposes only. Provenance: From a Wealthy Dallas Estate. Liège was the center of a wealthy bishopric situated between Flanders and Germany. Although part of the holy Roman Empire, its furniture is not typical of the German style. Some of the forms and the decoration came from France, but the result is too refined to be classed as French provincial. The industries of Liège had been stimulated by the wars of Louis XIV, and the Walloon (Now French speaking part of Belgium) population included many brilliant craftsmen.The houses built by the 1730s include the Château de Seraing for the Prince-Bishop, and the Hôtel d’Ansembourg for the banker Michel Willems. The craft guilds flourished, but very little furniture is actually signed. The principal wood was oak, carefully chosen for its fine quality, close grain, and consistent,delicate sheen. Some pieces were partly gilded andpainted, but bronze and ormolu were not used. The most typical pieces are the great oak cupboards and buffets in one or two parts, tall clocks, commodes with four equal drawers and short feet, writing-tables, bureau, and glazed cabinets and bookshelves. The delicate carving, always carried out in solid wood, resembles that on French wall paneling. Furniture outlines were simple, and the effect, unlike that of Dutch or German furniture, was never bulky or ungainly. Chairs were either in the French style and caned, or in the Germanic-Dutch tradition with back splats and loose seats. These were often of walnut, ash or elm. For simple furniture, pine and beech were also used.

19C French Empire Style Complete Bedroom Set - Outstanding

Located in Dallas, TX

PRESENTING AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING 19C French Empire Style Style Complete Bedroom Suite/Set. HIGHLY, IMPORTANT AND UNIQUE Empire Style Bedroom Suite or Set from circa 1880. The Suite/Set is almost completely original, save the bed, which was originally twin size, but professionally commissioned to be customized and converted into a Euro King Size for modern practicality. The quality of the conversion matches the quality of the suite/set. All pieces have gilt bronze mounted fittings; beautiful patina, beautiful parquetry; beautiful carrara marble tops, simply stunning! About 10 years ago, I saw the ‘identical twin’ of the Commode in an Antique Store on Central Park in New York, however it had a less desirable green marble top (IMHO), and they were looking for 30k USD for the Commode, on its OWN! This Suite/Set is SO GOOD that it is the main exhibit in our rear Showroom. Not marked but under the marble top of the commode there are 2 signatures in pencil (1) M. Le Youters (?) and (2) M. Daneels. You will NOT find another complete suite/set like this ANYWHERE! AS A BONUS: We have curated and sourced (recently) a Pair of Monumental French Empire Wall Sconces which are a ‘PERFECT’ match for this bedroom set! (See pics) These sconces are being sold separately BUT they really COMPLETE the entire bedroom! The Suite/Set includes: European King Size Bed (Headboard, Baseboard, side panels and central support bracket). 2 Matching Bedside...

19th Century Samson Paris Porcelain Trinket Box

By Samson & Cie

Located in Dallas, TX

Presenting a gorgeous French 19th century Samson Paris Porcelain Trinket Box probably by Edme Samson. Marked on the base with “Made in France” and unmistakably in the style and manner of Samson. The lid features hand painted floral bouquets on an ivory porcelain background with gold edging, surrounded by a sky blue lid with gold web or crackling effect.. The lid is hinged and the lid and base are edged in floral gilt metal mounts with Fleur De Lis clasp. It sits on 4 gilt metal or ormolu feet. The sides are likewise hand decorated. This wonderful antique hand painted box is just bursting with History. Inspired by Edme Samson of Samson & Co., Paris. we believe (based upon the markings and natural aging) that it was made between 1880– 1890 in France and was meant to resemble an antique of a much earlier period. It is very similar to Sevres pieces with it’s color, decoration and design. Samson specialized in reproducing antiques from the 1600 and 1700s. One of his most interesting works was his Heraldic or Armorial pieces. With this medium sized box, he was not only copying the larger porcelain caskets or coffin boxes...
