About the Item
THE FOUR CARDINAL POINTS
Rosenthal Kunstmöbelreihe
This noteworthy design is the work of Bjørn Wiinblad.
The furniture pieces were produced in a limited edition of 300 in 1976.
Each table and chair is an original print, rendering each piece a unique entity. The prints were produced by hand under the artist's supervision at the Herbert Geier screen printing studio in Ingolstadt, Southern Germany. The serigraphy technique was employed, utilizing 18 colors. Each item is individually signed and numbered in accordance with the artist's specifications, as outlined in the original contract. The collection comprises a nine-piece ensemble, consisting of eight chairs and a substantial dining table. The material is a black lacquered hardwood.
The set is in remarkable condition and, in this author's estimation, is the most well-preserved set of Wiinblads' "The Four Cardinal Points" art furniture that can be found worldwide.
The dimensions of the set are as follows: the diameter of the dining table is 145 centimetres, and its height is 72 centimetres - the tableboard is reversible.
The chairs have a seat height of 45 centimetres, a depth of 45 centimetres, a width of 43 centimetres, and a total height of 111 centimetres.
About the artist:
Bjørn Wiinblad (1918-2006) is regarded as an artist of considerable versatility, continually reinterpreting himself and his work in pursuit of novel avenues and materials for embellishment.
Fairytale designs imbued with a sense of joy.
Björn Wiinblad's creative output was characterised by a multifaceted approach to artistic expression. He painted oriental ladies and mythical creatures, creating works that evoke joy, fairy tales, and fantasy at a time when minimalism was prevalent. Wiinblad made significant contributions to various artistic disciplines, demonstrating a lifelong dedication to decoration through painting. His unwavering creativity, exuberant Oriental style, and exceptional talent established him as a seminal figure in Danish art, celebrated for his multifaceted contributions to the visual arts.
The Danish artist Bjørn Wiinblad, illustrator, and ceramicist, evinced an early proclivity for artistic pursuits. He was born in Copenhagen in 1918.
He pursued studies in fine art at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, graduating in 1943. In 1946, he commenced employment with the Danish pottery Nymølle, which he subsequently assumed control of in 1976. In 1952, he established his own design studio and subsequently commenced employment with the German porcelain manufacturer Rosenthal. In 1957, he was promoted to the position of lead designer for Rosenthal, which provided him with the opportunity to travel throughout Europe and gain international recognition.
In contrast to his contemporaries, who were preoccupied with functional aesthetics, Wiinblad's style was characterized by a delicate and romantic sensibility, with a proclivity for rich colors and undulating lines. These elements were frequently inspired by the fairy tale tradition. His dedication to soulful ceramic design is exemplified by the iconic Magic Flute series (1959) for Rosenthal, a meticulously crafted table service that pays homage to Mozart's opera The Magic Flute. Additional noteworthy designs for Rosenthal include the Romance series (1959), the 1001 Nights series (1969), and the Quatre Couleurs series (Sixties).
While Wiinblad is primarily recognized for his contributions to ceramic design, he also engaged with a diverse range of other artistic mediums. In 1947, he was commissioned by the American Embassy in Paris to design a series of posters. Concurrently, he initiated his career as a costume and set designer for the Royal Theater in Copenhagen, creating designs for Lysistrata (1949), Undine (1962), and Hans Christian Andersen's The Swineherd (1969).
Wiinblad's oeuvre is represented in numerous museums and permanent collections across the globe, including the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the National Museum in Stockholm.

Rosenthal GmbH is a German manufacturer of porcelain products and other household goods. The original firm was founded in 1879 in Selb, Bavaria. Since 2009, Rosenthal has been owned by the Italian company Sambonet Paderno Industrie
(Arcturus Group).
History
Rosenthal was originally founded in 1879 as a family business. The founder, Philipp Rosenthal, moved his porcelain painting from Werl in North Rhine-Westphalia to Selb in Bavaria, where he industrialized in the castle Erkersreuth with his painting workshop. In 1897, Philipp Rosenthal founded the company Bauer, Rosenthal & Co. in Kronach, as well as Philipp Rosenthal & Co. AG. In 1908, Rosenthal bought the porcelain manufacturer Thomas in Marktredwitz, and the porcelain company Zeidler & Co. in 1917.
In 1921, the company took over the Krister Porzellanmanufaktur in Wałbrzych, Silesia. The factory was closed in 1945, but the brand was revived in 1951 and used until 1971.
In the period of national socialism, Philipp Rosenthal, while Catholic, had to withdraw from the enterprise in 1934 because of his Jewish origin. The Board of Management and the supervisory board turned against Rosenthal and implemented various measures to prevent Philipp Rosenthal from using his voting shares in order to change the composition of the management board and the supervisory board. The government was asked for support and sold the voting shares to persons who were not well-disposed towards Rosenthal. However, the Nazi regime did not go directly against Philipp Rosenthal in order not to jeopardize the foreign business of the company. The reasonably covertly concealed Aryans took advantage of the family, and urged Rosenthal's successor to step out of the company. Philipp Rosenthal's death in 1937 finally paved the way for his grandchildren. In 1936, Rosenthal bought the porcelain manufacturers Waldershof and Thomas in Weidenberg-Sophienthal. Rosenthal Isolatoren GmbH (RIG) was established in 1939 with branches in Erkersreuth (Selb) and Hennigsdorf near Berlin. In 1939 the company changed to Rosenthal Porzellan AG. When the Decree on Companies of Deprived Commercial Enterprises (RGBI 1941, p. 177), adopted on 27 March 1941, forced the discontinuation of the Jewish company and brand name Rosenthal, the "Aryan" management intervened through Joseph Goebbels to continue the use of the Rosenthal brand name.
With the return of Philipp Rosenthal's son Philip Rosenthal from exile and his entry into the enterprise in 1950, he won a pioneering role in the modern product design. In 1960, the Rosenthal Studiohaus was opened in Nuremberg, from which the world's first design chain was built. In 1965 the uniform name Rosenthal Glas & Porzellan AG was elected and shortened to Rosenthal AG in 1969. In 1972, Philip Rosenthal founded the furniture factory Rosenthal Einrichtung in Espelkamp. The furniture factory was renamed in 2009 Philip Möbelmanufaktur GmbH and in 2013 rebranded the Fröscher GmbH & CO. KG. Rosenthal, In collaboration with industrial designers such as Raymond Loewy, Tapio Wirkkala, Elsa Fischer-Treyden, Timo Sarpaneva, Verner Panton and Luigi Colani, created an impressive series of products. Walter Gropius design for Rosenthal the tea service TAC. In 1967, Rosenthal built the so-called "Glassmaker's Cathedral," a factory for the Thomas-Glassworks in Amberg. The Thomas-Glassworks was renamed the Amberg crystal glass factory.
In 1997, Rosenthal AG was 90% owned by the British-Irish Waterford Wedgwood Group. Rosenthal was the market leader for high-quality porcelain and glassware in Germany and was the world market leader in conjunction with Waterford Wedgwood. In the year 2000, the company took over the Hutschenreuther brand and Hutschenreuther-Werk B in Selb.
In June 2008, the Waterford Wedgwood Group wanted to divest the Rosenthal share package due to liquidity difficulties. At this time, around 1,100 employees were employed worldwide. The company, faced with insolvency by the subsequent collapse of Waterford Wedgwood, filed for insolvency on 9 January 2009. The subsequent insolvency proceedings of Rosenthal AG were opened on 1 April 2009 by the District Court.On 20 July 2009, a sale was announced to an Italian company, Sambonet Paderno Industrie (Arcturus Group). Founded on 1 August 2009, Rosenthal GmbH is an independent part of Sambonet Paderno Industrie (Arcturus Group). The Rosenthal company headquarters remain in Selb under the managing director Pierluigi Coppo.
The Rosenthal Archive, a collection of around 15,000 exhibits from 130 years of company history, were purchased by the Oberfranken Foundation on 12 August 2009 and is provided as a permanent loan to the Porzellanikon, the State Museum of Porcelain in Hohenberg an der Eger, Selb. These include nearly all product designs, from the company's foundation to today, as well as originals designed by artists such as Salvador Dalí, Andy Warhol, Wilhelm Wagenfeld and Walter Gropius.

Dining Room Sets in Louis XV Style, Set of 4 Chairs & Louis XV Dining Room Table
By Stephanie Odegard Collection, Paul Mathieu (French)
Located in New York, NY
Dining room sets in Louis XV Style with a set of 4 chairs & a Louis XV dining room table is designed by the renowned designer Paul Mathieu. He chose the name “Louise” when he created his more feminine version of Louis XV furniture and this elegant dining room sets. The characteristic cabriole leg, curving outward at the knee and inward towards the foot in an "S" shape was born during Louis XV period. It is during the same era that English furniture makers produced the Queen Anne and Chippendale styles.
The dining room sets are inspired from the style of 18th-century French furniture which was guided by the court. When Louis XV, who reigned from 1715–74, focused royal life on the smaller salons of Versailles rather than its grand chambers, it transformed the aesthetics away from the imposing and angular furniture that characterised the style of Louis XIV. A broader focus on comfort and more delicate forms define antique Louis XV furniture dining room sets, with nature-inspired carvings, wood inlays, curved cabriole legs, asymmetrical shapes and rounded oval seat backs. The furnishings changed throughout the king’s life, as he ascended to the throne as a child and then grew to establish his own tastes.
The dining room sets are made with great precision by our master craftsmen and hand carvers. This dining room set is more than just a dining room set as it is a true piece of art!
Pieces like the bergère, an upholstered armchair with a wide cushion that fit the flowing dresses in fashion at the time, reflected this more informal court. Introduced at the start of Louis XV’s reign, bergère chairs in this style were deeper and broader than other chairs of the period.
Louis XV tapestries and carpets tended to be floral and colourful, and design elements were borrowed from Asia. Dutch-born cabinetmaker Bernard van Risenburgh brought lacquer techniques influenced by Japan and China into his luxuriously made furniture. Along with its fine details, the furniture of the era also featured new innovations including mechanical devices. Jean François Oeben, a royal cabinetmaker, created such intricate pieces as a mechanical table for Madame de Pompadour, Louis XV’s mistress. It involved a sliding top and a writing surface that extended from its marquetry panels.
During the later years of Louis XV’s reign, there was a shift from the ostentatious rocaille style, part of the exuberantly decorative Rococo movement in Europe for which designers such as Nicolas Pineau and Juste-Aurèle Meissonier are known. The style under Louis XVI would return to boxier forms, but with a neoclassical touch inspired by the ancient world.
For the dining room sets the curved legs and side arms of this exceptionally elegant chair are hand carved from solid pieces of teak. Pattern makers trace and cut complex forms that will cover the chair in a skin of copper or purest silver (assayed at 96% purity, beyond sterling at 92.5%). The metal finishes will tarnish over time. Regular non-abrasive household metal polishes can be used to restore the original lustre.
For the dining room sets the curved legs and side rails of this exceptionally elegant table are handcarved from solid pieces of teak. Pattern makers trace and cut complex forms that will cover the table from thick sheets of copper or silver. Once the table is joined together, it is meticulously encased in a tight-fitting skin of copper or purest silver. The silver used was assayed at 96% purity, which exceeds the minimum standard for sterling of 92.5%. Available options for the metal skins are White Bronze, Antiqued Bronze, Brass, Silver and Copper. Both silver and copper will tarnish over time. Regular non-abrasive household metal polishes can be used to restore the original finish.
