About the Item
Exceptional 19th-Century French Empire Salon Set Stamped Maigret
Presenting a rare and exquisite French Empire-style salon set, attributed to Alexandre Maigret, a distinguished cabinetmaker and upholsterer active from the late 18th to early 19th century. This elegant three-piece ensemble, consisting of a gracefully curved settee and a pair of matching fauteuils, is a testament to the refined craftsmanship of the Napoleonic era.
Stamped with the Maigret mark, this set embodies the grandeur and sophistication of Empire furniture, featuring rich mahogany construction, gilt-bronze ormolu mounts, and sweeping scroll arms with finely carved acanthus details. The saber legs provide a striking yet balanced silhouette, enhancing the overall neoclassical aesthetic. The original upholstery, a distinguished silk fabric in salmon tones with gold trim, remains in excellent condition, complementing the deep patina of the wood.
Alexandre Maigret, who held the prestigious title of Guardian of Crown Furniture, supplied furniture to imperial residences such as Fontainebleau, Saint-Cloud, the Tuileries, and Trianon. His works, renowned for their elegance and impeccable craftsmanship, were commissioned by Empress Marie-Louise and the Duchess of Berry. Pieces attributed to Maigret are now housed in prestigious collections, including Malmaison and Fontainebleau.
This salon set is an exceptional investment for collectors, decorators, and connoisseurs of historical French furniture. It captures the regal charm of the Napoleonic era, offering both museum-worthy authenticity and timeless sophistication.
