NAPOLEON III STYLE

Under Napoleon III’s rule, Paris underwent a great rebuilding overseen by Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann, which created grand avenues and lavish landmarks like the Paris Opera. Antique Napoleon III–style furniture was flamboyant and eclectic. It was also known as Second Empire style since it followed and referenced the Empire style of his uncle Napoleon I.

Developing from 1852–70, Napoleon III furniture was plush and ornate, matching the fashion for masked balls and socializing in salons. It borrowed freely from earlier French styles including Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI as well as aesthetics from around the world, from antiquity to Asian art. As writer Gustave Claudin remarked in 1867, the country’s architects worked in “a style which one would be tempted to call neo-Greco-Gothico-Pompadour-Pompeian.”

Napoleon III chairs were completely covered with velvet and lined with tassels; pouf footstools invited people to put up their feet. Sofas were upholstered with tapestries, and beds were adorned with gilt bronze and theatrical canopies. The addition of conservatories to homes led to new indoor-outdoor furniture, while the spirit of hygiene promoted by Baron Haussmann inspired bright, floral motifs.

Although the most ostentatious designs were for the elite, as seen in the Napoleon III apartments preserved in the Louvre, where red velvet, gilding and chandeliers create a cacophony of luxury, these trends influenced homes across classes as manufacturing made design increasingly accessible. Papier-mâché furniture allowed for elaborate shapes that would have been difficult to carve in wood. The malleable material was painted with chinoiserie patterns and decorative designs. It was mass-produced by factories such as Jennens and Bettridge with varnishing and mother-of-pearl inlays creating an effect reminiscent of Asian lacquer. (Surfaces that had been “japanned” — a specialty of Jennens and Bettridge — were intended to resemble lacquer work that was created in East Asia.)

Traditional French Napoleon III Liquor Cellar
Traditional French Napoleon III Liquor Cellar

Traditional French Napoleon III Liquor Cellar

Located in San Francisco, CA

In an era when we get our beverages out of pull-top cans right from the fridge, on offer is an opportunity for experiencing a little grandeur. This classic 19th-century French Cave à Liqueur (liquor cellar) dates from the Napoleon III period (circa 1850–1870). Designed to elegantly present after-dinner cordials or liqueurs, such portable miniature bars were highly prestigious items produced for wealthy households during France's Second Empire. The piece features a distinct serpentine front, a hallmark of fine French cabinetry from this era. The main body showcases an ebonized (blackened) finish bordered by richly figured contrasting wood veneers, likely rosewood or kingwood. The top and front are centered by highly intricate, symmetrical Boulle-style marquetry medallions.
