A French Louis XVI-style gilt bronze mounted wooden pedestal
About the Item
Transport yourself to a bygone era of opulence and grandeur with this elegant French pedestal in the style of Louis XVI. While its design harkens back to the 18th century, this exquisite piece of artistry likely hails from the late 19th to early 20th century. Crafted meticulously from wood, it is adorned with magnificent inlays that adorn every surface.
As your eyes traverse the intricate patterns, you'll discover a tapestry of motifs including urns, rosettes, cascading florals, and other classical elements. At its heart, proudly displayed, is the emblem of the Sun King, a symbol of absolute monarchy and power, reminiscent of an era steeped in history and regal splendor.
The ormolu mounts, with their ornamental feet and elaborate cartouches, add another layer of sophistication, accentuating the pedestal's lavish design. The marble top serves as a platform for displaying decorative pieces like busts, vases, or statues, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
But there's more to this masterpiece than meets the eye. A concealed door reveals small drawers inside, providing discreet storage for your precious trinkets and keepsakes. This pedestal, with its ageless beauty and timeless allure, is a testament to the enduring charm of neoclassical and French styles.
Imagine it gracing the corner of a room, bathed in soft light, where it becomes a conversation starter, a relic of a bygone era that exudes sophistication and elegance. It's a piece that invites you to touch its intricate details, to appreciate the craftsmanship of a time when every detail was painstakingly considered.
Whether you have a penchant for neoclassical interiors or you're looking to infuse your space with a touch of French opulence, this pedestal stands ready to transport you to a world of timeless beauty and refinement.

By Serafino Arrighi, Paolo Buffa
Located in Milano, IT
Rare chinoiserie cabinet with polychrome decorations made in Giambattista Gianotti's Officine Riunite d'Arte Decorativa (Room 116) for the II Biennial - Lombard Section - Room with Furniture and Stained Glass Windows of the Officine Riunite d'Arte Decorativa. Unique Exemplar.
The extraordinary piece of furniture is dated 1925. The piece of furniture is an extraordinary example of great cabinet making and woodworking. In fact, these special features are denoted by the manic inlays inserted in the cabinet. The inlays are perfect even in its smallest elements. Its depictions are mainly ornaments and floral elements. These inlays are found on the crown of the cabinet, on the sides, and on the legs. The cabinet opens via two lockable doors. Inside we find great magic! We are greeted by numerous walnut wood drawers of various sizes that can be opened with wooden knobs. Each wooden door is finely carved with ornaments and natural elements such as flowers and birds. The two main doors inside are also finely carved. Let's call it a chinoiserie piece of furniture because of this element that contradicts it: the numerous cabinets inserted inside, where opening this piece of furniture looks like opening a secret chest...
