Empire Early 19th Century Amboyna Center Table by Jean-Joseph Chapuis

About the Item

A rare and very elegant early 19th century Empire Gueridon, stamped seven times by the Belgium cabinetmaker Jean-Joseph Chapuis (1765-1864). Very Fine and decorative amboyna veneer, ebonized fruitwood and gilt bronze decoration. The three scrolled legs are made of bent and laminated wood, terminating in gilt bronze ram's heads. This was a revolutionary technique at the time and Chapuis was one of the very first makers to use it (and probably invented it). Jean-Joseph Chapuis established his first workshop in Brussels in 1798. In 1806 he was called to value French furniture at the château de Laeken and thereafter supplied furniture for the château himself.

  • Important Empire Early 19th Century Fauteuil by Jean-Joseph Chapuis
    By Jean Joseph Chapuis
    Located in Worpswede / Bremen, DE
    Despite his long life, very little is known about the general production of menuisier (chairmaker) Jean-Joseph Chapuis (1765-1864) and even less about his use of bent laminates, which must be viewed as the most advanced of its kind until the appearance of Michael Thonet’s work of the 1830s. The profound reverence for the classical world in enlightened circles in early 19th century Europe and the United States often resulted in the archaeological resurrection of the art, architecture, and design of ancient Greece and Rome. No chair employing the innovative technique of bending wood more boldly expresses this allegiance to the past than this armchair painted in le style antique and based on the ancient Roman sella...
