Rare 19C Portois & Fix Viennese Cabinet
About the Item
PRESENTING A STUNNING and RARE 19C Portois & Fix Viennese Cabinet.
Made by the famous and highly desirable maker, ‘Portois & Fix’ in Vienna, Austria circa 1895.
Pieces by Portois & Fix are very rare and highly, highly desirable due to their EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY and RARITY!
Pieces by Portois & Fix, RARELY come onto the market. Only a handful of pieces have appeared at auction in the last 50 years.
In their ‘heyday’ of furniture making, in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, they made furniture for the Austrian Royal Family – ‘The Hapsburgs’. Hence, these pieces were very ornate, with ormolu and gold accents, reminiscent of Louis XVI/French Empire styles.
When the ‘Hapsburg Empire’ disappeared after WW1 they had to ‘change with the times’ and started to make much more affordable and less extravagant pieces, but still very stylish.
We have 3 examples of Art Deco pieces made by Portois & Fix in the 1930’s, in our Inventory.
This is a solid walnut cabinet with open shelves and the most stunning ormolu mounts throughout.
The top of the piece has ormolu molding or edging with 2 solid ormolu finials.
The piece then has acanthus ormolu mounts atop 2 side pillars, each with corinthian column ormolu mounts and floral and musical/trumpet swags and wreaths.
It has 3 open shelves each fronted with ormolu molding and panels to the rear with brass ormolu banding.
The last shelf has brass ormolu ballustrated galleries.
The base consists of 2 central open shelves flanked on either side by 2 doors which open to reveal 2 additional shelves each.
The front of each door has the most stunning floral and musical (trumpet) swags and wreaths as it’s central motif.
The sides of the cabinet continue with fluted pillars/columns ending with spear shaped floral mounts.
Ir sits on 4 ormolu edged feet.
The decoration of the piece is reflected on the sides also.
The locks are properly marked “Portois & Fix, Wien 2015” – ‘2015’ being the serial number and not the date.
Provenance: From a Private Louisiana Collection.
