Louis XIV Furniture

LOUIS XIV STYLE

As opposed to the styles that would follow from the other 18th-century French kings, Louis XV and Louis XVI, antique Louis XIV furniture is rigid and imposing. It expresses opulence — even its armchairs, with their upright backs, straight legs and lavish ornamentation, look like thrones. Authentic Louis XIV sofas, a then newly emerging iteration of seating, are fully upholstered and often feature decoratively carved frames of walnut, chestnut or oak.

When French King Louis XIV established his royal court at Versailles in 1682, he transformed what was once a hunting lodge into a palace that declared his wealth and power through its design. Until his death in 1715, he reigned with a spirit of excess and absolute political dominance. The “Sun King,” as he called himself, believed that France revolved around him as planets do the sun. Louis XIV adopted the sun as his emblem, decorating the grounds with symbols of the sun and Apollo, the Greek god of the sun. As he stated, “There is nothing that indicates more clearly the magnificence of great princes than their superb palaces and their precious furniture.” He was a child when he became king in 1643, only shaping his style after he became absolute monarch in 1661.

Reflecting trends in French Baroque art, Louis XIV furniture characteristics included exuberant decoration. There were gilded bronze details including shells, suns, grotesques, lions and classical references like acanthus leaves. The years of growth in the country’s manufacturing, such as the tapestries and cabinets made at Gobelins, led to design innovations. The commode replaced the chest as a storage device, with drawers and a surface that could double as a desk.

The materials were luxurious, such as the popular tortoiseshell veneer technique that leading cabinetmaker Pierre Golle used in his designs. André-Charles Boulle, who became royal cabinetmaker in 1672, was a masterful artist of marquetry, using inlays of ebony, exotic woods and mother-of-pearl.

Located in Firenze, IT

Large antique Italian terracotta urn / vase / jardinière / planter, Louis XIV period (late 17th century - early 18th century) monumental sculptural piece designed for both indoor and outdoor use. This rare architectural terracotta urn-vase or jardinière is shaped as an amphora and it is a powerful example of Italian decorative arts from the early 1700s, combining the exuberance of late 17th century Louis XIV and Baroque design with an early classical refinement that anticipates the Louis XVI style. It rises from a strong octagonal base and develops into a richly modelled body with deep fluting and classical relief decoration. The surface is enriched with grotesque-inspired ornamentation, geometric motifs, egg and dart patterns, rosettes, and classical friezes, creating a layered visual rhythm typical of high-end antique garden sculpture and architectural terracotta. The most striking feature of this monumental garden urn...
