Louis XVI End Tables

LOUIS XVI STYLE

Reflecting the final era of royal opulence before the upheaval of the French Revolution, antique Louis XVI furniture features more angular shapes than the Rococo curves of the Louis XV style, harkening back to the imposing grandeur of Louis XIV.

Dating between 1750 and 1800, an era that overlapped with the last king of France whose reign was cut short by the guillotine, Louis XVI furniture, known as the goût grec, is emblematic of the neoclassical revision that French furniture underwent during the second half of the 18th century.

Authentic Louis XVI furniture characteristics include clean lines and carved details such as scrolls and acanthus flourishes that were inspired by ancient Greece and Rome. This was informed by a burgeoning interest in antiquity in the 18th century, owing to new archaeological excavations at sites including Pompeii and Herculaneum. It largely eclipsed the more East Asian–influenced ornamentation of Louis XV for something more geometric and symmetrical.

The Louis XVI style was defined by what was being created for the palatial rooms at Versailles and Fontainebleau, particularly for the queen, with cabinetmaker Jean-Henri Riesener being a favorite of Marie-Antoinette’s for his luxurious pieces accented with gilded bronze and marquetry. Furniture maker Jean-Baptiste-Claude Sené was also a major designer of the period, with his pieces for the royal residences adorned with giltwood and neoclassical touches like tapered columns for chair legs and laurel leaf carvings. Cabinetmaker Adam Weisweiler occasionally incorporated into his furniture porcelain panels produced by Sèvres, a popular manufacturer of European ceramics that served the crown with serveware, vases and other decorative objects.

18th Century French Louis XVI Kidney Salon Table in the Manner of Topino
By Charles Topino
Located in Berlin, DE
18th Century French Louis XV/Transition Kidney Salon Table or Table à Rognon Excellent and rare small side or salon table, a so-called "table à rognon": the kidney shaped table with elaborate mirrored parquetry standing on four slender and tapering cabriole legs with gilt- bronze sabots. A small trompe l'oeil sliding front door, which follows the concave outline of the table front, discloses the table interior with two small storage compartments. One side of the table fitted with two small, curved drawers swinging out sideways. The table top a white and grey marble plate, partially surrounded by a pierced brass gallery. A small table by Charles Topino (ca. 1742-1803, master 1773) was offered in the international art market, which had the identical shape with the characteristic drawers swinging out to the side: Charles Topino worked for a number of years as an independent craftsman before he was received as a maître in 1773. From 1757 Charles Topino worked in the rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine gaining great renown as a marqueteur producing elaborate marquetry featuring floral garlands and bouquets as well as still-lifes showing vases, bottles, teapots and other artefacts. Although Topino supplied distinguished clients from the French aristocracy, his main customers were the marchand-merciers and marchand-ébénistes, notably Héricourt, Dautriche, Migeon, Denizot, Moreau, Delorme, Tuart, Joubert and Boudin. In 1782 Topino was elected député of his guild. Topino tended to specialize in making light furniture such as small tables, chiffonnières and bonheurs-du-jour although he is also credited with outstanding commodes and secrétaires in both the Transitional and full Louis XVI styles. Pieces of his oeuvre can be found at the Rothschild Collection...
