Beaux Arts Furniture
BEAUX ARTS STYLE
Beaux Arts furniture included chairs replicating models from the Renaissance and sofas inspired by Louis XIV. These pieces filled high-ceilinged rooms that featured tapestries fit for a medieval castle and were illuminated by crystal chandeliers reminiscent of those in European palaces. Leon Marcotte Company created furnishings for the White House mimicking the style of Louis XVI, while in France, cabinetmaker Louis Majorelle reproduced 18th-century pieces that would influence his later Art Nouveau style.
Students at the École des Beaux-Arts in 19th-century Paris meticulously sketched Roman and Greek art and architecture as part of a curriculum that elevated the classical world. This reverence for history informed the architecture and design being constructed in the French capital and beyond, where columns and pediments were joined with elements referencing the Renaissance and Baroque eras, culminating in grand civic buildings such as the Palais Garnier opera house constructed under Napoleon III.
Beaux Arts style, also known as Classical Eclecticism for its flamboyant mixing of influences, made its way to the United States in the late 19th century through American architects who studied in Paris, like Richard Morris Hunt and Charles Follen McKim. They designed monumental turn-of-the-century buildings like train stations, libraries, museums and mansions that featured soaring entry halls and grand stairways with nearly every surface embellished, from mosaic floors to stained-glass ceilings. The luxurious interiors of these Beaux Arts buildings, which weren’t crowded with objects as in the Victorian era, matched this spirit of opulence and embraced the past.

Clock Frame from Original Penn Station Train Waiting Room, 6-ft diameter, c 1910
By Stanford White
Located in Madison, WI
Clock frame from the original Penn Train Station Waiting Room in New York City, circa 1910. The Penn Station Clock, with its significant 6-foot diameter, was suspended above the frenzied crowds in the waiting room. And became a popular rendezvous location through the years for millions of travelers, warriors, lovers and friends. A movie "The Clock" (1945) showcased these rendezvous and the dramas that ensued.
Penn Station, the building that housed the clock, is considered a magnum opus of the 20th century. A magnificent example of the Beaux-Art style. Its demolition to the ground beginning in 1963 created an uproar of anger and disbelief, sending shockwaves through the city and the world. "When the Old Penn Station Was Demolished, New York Lost Its Faith."--The New York Times declared. And lost most of the precious artifacts from the building, trucked to landfills or taken home by those working the site. The Penn Station clock disappeared. Until now.
The Penn Station clock frame, forged in iron, its roman numerals hammered out on an anvil, represents an American icon of illustrious provenance and backstory. In famous photos of the old Waiting Room, the clock stands out as a beacon suspended beneath the vaulting, 138-foot high ceiling. More than a 100 years old, 60 of those in obscurity, this is one of a few prominent architectural elements to have survived the demolition of the monumental Pennsylvania Station...
