EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Meuble de Salon 3, circa 1860, is a stunning example of the ornate and intricate craftsmanship of the Louis XV style. The marquetterie cupboard, with its two doors adorned with intricately inlaid wood veneers, showcases the artistry and skill of the French furniture makers of the late 19th century. The cupboard's elegant curves and delicate floral motifs are characteristic of the Rococo period, which emphasized the use of natural forms and organic shapes. The Meuble de Salon was not only a functional piece of furniture, but also a work of art, designed to enhance the beauty and sophistication of a living room. The accompanying occasional table, with its simple yet elegant design, complements the cupboard perfectly, providing a practical surface for displaying decorative objects or serving refreshments. Marquetterie, the technique used to create the intricate designs on the cupboard, involves cutting and inlaying thin pieces of wood veneer to form decorative patterns. This labor-intensive process required great skill and precision, making each piece a unique and valuable work of art. The Louis XV style, named after King Louis XV of France, was popular from around 1720 to 1770. It is characterized by its ornate and elaborate designs, often inspired by nature, and its use of rich, dark woods and gilded accents. This Meuble de Salon 3, with its beautiful marquetterie and Louis XV style design, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the period and a reminder of the elegance and sophistication of the past.
