About the Item

17th–18th Century French Decorative Panels – Gilded Scrollwork and Inlay, Plate LXXXIV This refined chromolithograph, Plate LXXXIV from *L'Ornement Polychrome*, showcases an exceptional set of 17th- and 18th-century French decorative panels, likely designed for marquetry, cabinetry, or interior paneling. These motifs represent the pinnacle of French decorative arts, where the grandeur of Louis XIV meets the delicate finesse of Louis XV, unified by gold-on-black designs and finely wrought arabesques. At the center is a large and ornate panel, likely designed for a door or wall panel, featuring an allegorical figure—possibly Hercules or Neptune—seated on a classical plinth. This main motif is framed by complex scrolls, symmetrical flourishes, latticework, and acanthus leaves in elegant gold tones against a deep black ground. Its luxurious and regal style is typical of grand interiors in Versailles or the Hôtel particulier residences of the Parisian elite. Surrounding the central piece are multiple smaller panels: curved corner motifs, lock escutcheons, and elaborate drawer fronts—each meticulously decorated with swirling tendrils, delicate foliage, and baroque detailing. Several panels appear to have been intended for furniture ornamentation or bronze marquetry inlays (boullework), showcasing the ornamental richness of André-Charles Boulle’s school. These designs were lithographed by Bance and printed by Firmin-Didot in Paris around 1869 as part of Auguste Racinet’s encyclopedic documentation of global and historical ornament. Racinet’s work helped revive interest in traditional techniques of gilding, inlay, and surface decoration, and this plate in particular remains a key reference for antique restorers and furniture makers. Collectors and interior designers will appreciate the high level of detail, historical significance, and visual elegance of these patterns, whether for study or decorative display. Condition: Excellent condition. Bold and clear impression with vibrant gilded tones and rich contrast. Margins clean with only mild age-toning. No tears or repairs. Strong paper quality and full margins. Framing tips: Best suited to a sleek black or antique gold frame. A deep cream or charcoal mount will accentuate the intricate gold-on-black detail. Ideal for classical, vintage, or high-design interiors. Technique: Chromolithograph Maker: Bance after Racinet, Paris, c.1869
