About the Item
This Gorgeous small French chest of drawers is made in the Louis XV style, Napoleon III period. It features an impressive ochre-coloured marble top with greyish and pearl inlays, with a gilded brass profile as an openwork balustrade. This beautiful piece of furniture is completely veneered in rosewood. On the front, two registers of equal size with storage capacity, which feature extraordinary marquetry work with a geometric pattern. The ornaments are based on lemongrass fillets with a complex texture, also present on the sides of the chest of drawers. The chest of drawers stands on galve-plated legs, the two front ones with sablots. All these fittings (handles, corner pieces, skirt) are made of mercury-gilded bronze and then chiseled. Fine lines, typical of the period in a small chest of drawers of the highest quality, worthy of a place of honour in the home.
More about the Louis XV Style
The Louis XV Style is an artistic style, especially present in the decorative arts, which developed during the reign of Louis XV (1715-1774). Initially the name "Louis XV Style" referred to a characteristic type of chair, but it soon spread to all the arts of the time. This style was created by cabinetmakers as a result of a major technical advance in the manufacture of wooden furniture. It is identified with the architectural style called Rococo. Like Rococo, it has profuse decoration and detail, in contrast to the later "Louis XVI Style", which was simpler.
Style and period Napoleon III or Second Empire
The Napoleon III or Second Empire style gets its name because it was born in France at that time. Strictly speaking, the Second Empire was proclaimed in 1852 and ended in 1870, led by Louis Napoleon Bonaparte as Emperor of the French, although in the artistic sense it extended a few years further (until 1880). This style was very well received by the French bourgeoisie. The Emperor himself was involved in the artistic development of the time, although more closely linked to architecture. However, it is Empress Eugénie who is responsible for the evolution of the decorative arts.
Although it is inspired by the styles of the past, starting with Classical Antiquity, the Renaissance, even by Louis XVI, much loved by Eugénie, the most representative characteristic of the style is sumptuousness and ostentation, always aspiring to show wealth and opulence.
It is not a style designed specifically for the Second Empire, but a recovery of the different great French styles of the previous centuries, a kind of compilation of French decorative trends. Special reference is made to Louis XIV, Louis XV, Baroque and Rococo, and gradually Louis XVI, which was based on eclecticism. In short, the decorative styles that had positioned France at the forefront of interior design and furniture design in Europe, both for quality and for originality and beauty.
