About the Item
An Interesting late 19th century gilt bronze mounted Transitional style Chinoiserie cabinet by L. Bontemps
L. Bontemps

Stamped LB under many of the bronze mounts.
Not much is known about the life and career of Bontemps – not even his given name or address are on record. However, it is clear that he was a well established maker; if not the very top rung, he can certainly be considered a maker of muebles de luxe. Judging from the listings of his work, it is clear that he favored the use of oriental lacquer, specifically Chinese, some of which looks as though it is considerably earlier than the last quarter of the 19th century, the presumed date of his career. Many of his pieces include late 17th or early 18th century panels taken from folds of Chinese Coromandel screens with rock and water landscapes.

- Fine 19th Century Gilt Bronze-Mounted Cabinet by Joseph ZwienerBy Joseph-Emmanuel ZwienerLocated in New York, NYA very fine late 19th century gilt bronze-mounted Louis XV style Vernis Martin cabinet. By Joseph Zwiener. The central section finely decorated door panel displaying an allegorical 'Vernis Martin' scene, within a gilt bronze banded frame. With finely cast acanthus and figurative gilt bronze mounts. Stamped ‘NZ’ for Zwiener on the back of the escutcheons and reverse of the bronze mask to the base. Born in Herdon, Germany, in 1849, Joseph Emmanuel Zwiener followed the tradition of some of the best ébnistes of the 19th century. He moved to Paris establishing a workshop at 12, rue de la Roquette, between 1880 and 1895. He produced a wide array of the very finest furniture, modelling in his own interpretations of the 18th century Louis XV Rococo style, veneered with the highest and finest quality marquetry and 'Vernis Martin' panels. Exhibiting at the Exposition Universelle, Paris, in 1889, Zwiener was awarded a Gold Medal for what the jury reported as 'dè ses dèbuts à une Exposition Universelle, [il] s'est mi au premier rang par la richesse, la hardinesse, et le fini de ses meubles incrustés de bronze et fort habilment marquetés.' Zwiener was closely associated with François Linke and the two houses produced work which, at first glance, is remarkably similar and with occasionally identical mounts. The similarities are made more likely by the fact that the brilliant sculptor, Léon Messagé, worked initially for Zwiener and subsequently, upon Zwiener's departure for Berlin to work on furniture commissioned by Freidrich Wilhelm II, he was employed in the workshop of François Linke. It appears that Zwiener, unlike Linke, did not sign all his work, although some stamped pieces with his name and/or his "Z" initial are documented. There is some uncertainty between the recorded stamp E. Zwiener and the work of a Julius Zwiener...Category
