Neufforge's Engraved Gates Design: 18th-Century Designs, circa 1770
About the Item
The prints by Neufforge depict designs for entrances. The French term "hôtel" in the 18th century referred not to a hotel as we understand it today (a place where travelers pay for lodging), but rather to a grand townhouse or a private mansion, often referred to as "hôtel particulier" in French. These were luxurious residences in urban settings owned by nobility or wealthy individuals.
The engravings likely illustrate proposed or idealized entrances to such prestigious buildings. They showcase the architectural style and grandeur that would be appropriate for the homes of the elite, with attention to detail and classical design elements that signal wealth and status.
Therefore, the term "porte d'hôtel" in the context of these prints would most accurately be translated as "mansion's gate" or "townhouse entrance" rather than an entrance to a commercial hotel.
The two uploaded prints are from Jean-François de Neufforge's work and represent architectural engravings from the 18th century, specifically showcasing classical facades of doors or entrances.
The first print displays a single facade with a central doorway flanked by pilasters and topped with a pediment. The pediment features ornate detailing which could be stucco or stone carvings typical of neoclassical architecture. Below the main image is a sectional drawing showing the depth of the wall and possibly the structure above the door.
The second print features a similar design but includes a more elaborate pediment with a sculptural relief, possibly a coat of arms or decorative motif. The doorway is also flanked by pilasters but with a different design, and the sectional drawing below provides insight into the architectural depth.
Both engravings demonstrate the neoclassical style that Neufforge was known for, emphasizing symmetry, proportion, and the use of classical elements such as columns and pediments. They would serve as design inspirations or templates for actual construction, illustrating Neufforge’s influence on the architecture of his time. The engravings are detailed, indicating Neufforge’s skill in capturing the intricacies of architectural design, which would have been valuable to architects, builders, and patrons of the era.
