A Louis XV Style Vernis Martin Mounted Side Cabinet, Attributed to Zwiener

About the Item

A Fine Louis XV Style Gilt-Bronze and Vernis Martin Mounted Side Cabinet, Attributed to Emmanuel Zwiener. This cabinet has a shaped pink and red mottled marble top above an acanthus cast frieze flanked by female herm figures to the angles, below is a central cupboard door inset with a finely painted vernis Martin panel depicting Perseus, on Pegasus, Hastening to the Rescue of Andromeda, and enclosing two shelves; the shaped apron centred by a finely cast Bacchic mask, the legs terminating in acanthus and lion paw sabots. Marked ‘ZN’ to the back of the gilt-bronze mountings for Emmanuel Zwiener and stencilled to the reverse 'KRIEGER PARIS / FAUBOURG ST. ANTOINE' France, Circa 1890. Two other examples of this important model of cabinet or ‘meuble à hauteur d'appui’ are recorded to be stamped E. Zwiener and ‘ZN’ to the back of the gilt-bronze mountings for Emmanuel Zwiener of Paris. This example is stencilled to the reverse 'KRIEGER PARIS / FAUBOURG ST. ANTOINE' which indicates that it was made by Emmanuel Zwiener for Maison Krieger who is known to have retailed furniture made by Zwiener and his contemporary François Linke. The angle mounts of busts with laced bodices and ruffle-collars, a reference to the work of the celebrated Régence ébéniste and sculpteur, Charles Cressent, are a known Zwiener model (see J. Meiner, ‘Berliner Belle Epoque’, 2014, Abb. 189 p.130).
