1860 Copper Marquetterie Salon Tables Furniture
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the elegance and sophistication of two French tables de salon from the late 19th century. The first table, crafted in the intricate marquetterie style, showcases an exquisite design of various woods meticulously arranged to form intricate geometric patterns and floral motifs. The second table, in stark contrast, is sleek and modern with its black wood and copper finish, adding a touch of industrial chic to the traditional Louis XVI style. The tables de salon were an essential element of French interior design during the 18th and 19th centuries. These tables were not only functional pieces of furniture but also works of art, often used to display decorative objects and serve as focal points in the salon or reception room. The Louis XVI style, named after King Louis XVI, was popular during the late 18th and early 19th centuries and characterized by its ornate and intricate designs, often inspired by ancient Greek and Roman motifs. The marquetterie table, with its intricate woodwork, required immense skill and patience from the craftsman. Each piece of wood was meticulously cut, shaped, and arranged to create the desired pattern. The black wood and copper table, on the other hand, represents the industrial revolution's influence on furniture design. The use of copper, a relatively new material for furniture at the time, added a modern and innovative touch to the traditional Louis XVI style. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of French furniture design and the evolution of style during the late 19th century. The two tables de salon, with their contrasting designs, showcase the beauty and versatility of French furniture and the enduring appeal of the Louis XVI style.
