French 19th Century Louis XV Marquetry Cabinet in the manner of Paul Sormani
About the Item
A very fine Louis XV Style cabinet in the manner of Paul Sormani.
This exquisite and very well proportioned cabinet is made of bois violette or kingwood, with well executed floral inlays. Extensive gilt bronze mounts of exceptional quality. The cabinet is raised by handsome scrolled legs with rich acanthus leaf sabots mounted with fine chiseled bronze ornaments with their original gilding.
The doors open to reveal two shelves and top to bottom original hardware. Above is a single drawer that is commonly referred to as a secret drawer since there isn't an exterior pull, instead a latch from within the doors and underneath to open.
The original and unique Brèche marble is in perfect condition.
Interior shelves are adjustable and measures 13 1/2" in depth, the interior height is 29".
Paul SORMANI (1817-1877)
He was born in Venice in 1817 and later established a highly successfully business in Paris at 10 rue Charlot in 1867. His firm produced furniture in a variety of styles, including excellent quality versions in Louis XV and Louis XVI styles. He exhibited at all the major exhibitions of his time, winning a bronze medal in 1849 and a médaille de première classe in 1855. On his death in 1877 the firm was taken over by his wife and son, who continued the business until 1934.
Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, decorated her palaces with beautiful creations by Paul Sormani whose designs were of a select few favored by the Empress. Revivals of Louis XV and XVI pieces were in high demand among affluent Parisians, and Sormani created many of the finest and most important furnishings of the period.
Paul Sormani, cabinet maker and renowned ciseleur decorated its furniture of chiselled and gilt bronzes.
