Antique Brazilian Settee by François and Julien Beranger Circa 1850
About the Item
This exquisite settee is a rare piece crafted by the renowned French artisans François and Julien Beranger, a father-son duo who settled in Pernambuco, Brazil, during the 19th century. The Berangers were celebrated for their unique contribution to Brazilian furniture, particularly for creating the distinctive "Pernambuco Style," a design language that set their work apart from the Brazilian Empire furniture prevalent in other Brazilian regions like Bahia, Minas Gerais, and Maranhão.
The settee is meticulously carved from rich brazilian hardwood, favored by the Berangers, for its durability and luxurious finish. The hallmark of the Beranger's craftsmanship is evident in the intricate carvings that adorn the backrest, featuring motifs inspired by Brazil's vibrant tropical flora. These include detailed representations of cashew fruits, pineapples, and pomegranates—elements that are quintessential to the "Beranger Style."
The seat is woven with fine cane, another characteristic feature of the Beranger pieces, which adds both comfort and an air of lightness to the otherwise robust structure. The scroll arms and cabriole legs are elegantly carved, further emphasizing the sophisticated yet natural aesthetic that the Berangers were known for.
This settee, dating from the mid-19th century (1816-1857), is not just a piece of furniture but a piece of history, reflecting the rich cultural blend of French artistry and Brazilian natural beauty. Its condition is excellent, with a well-preserved patina that adds to its antique charm. This settee is perfect for collectors or anyone looking to add a touch of Brazilian heritage and French craftsmanship to their home.
