About the Item

Louis XVI style dressing table. Woods, etc. Guéret Frères, Paris, France, 19th century. Marks on the back (stamping). Dressing table with a mirror topped with a crest and two gilt-bronze pine cones, flanked by two shelves on each side with railings, featuring a veined marble top (also present on the shelves) and a front with three drawers in the upper band, two doors in the center (shelves inside removable wooden trays toward the front), and four small drawers flanking them at the front, which lock with a key. On the sides of this lower area are two columns with a strong Classicist influence, enhanced with gilt-bronze elements. The piece stands on four legs. The back features prints related to the designer's work. In France, the Louis XVI style is considered a movement within Neoclassicism and spans from around 1760 to around 1789 (although works inspired by it would be created in the 19th century). It was succeeded by the Directoire style. It is characterized by its influences from Ancient Rome and Enlightenment thought. The firm known as Guéret Frères (Denis-Désiré and Onésime) was established in Paris around 1853 and from 1867 was known as Guéret Jeune et Cie., active until the 1880s. They exhibited their work at the International Expositions of 1855 (First Class Medal), 1867 and 1878, specialising in Louis XV and XVI style furniture but also highlighting works inspired by other antique styles. Their works are housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco (USA), etc. · Size: 140x55,5x219 cms WEIGHT is merely orientative, it may vary.
