1860 Accompanying Copper Cupboard Keeping Knitting Living Meuble Piece Roughly Salon Storage Furniture

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Meuble de Salon 6, circa 1860, is a stunning example of the opulence and elegance of the Louis XIV style. The black wood and copper cupboard, with its intricate carvings and ornate details, would have been a prized possession in a well-to-do Parisian household during the late 19th century. The Meuble de Salon, roughly translated as a cupboard for the living room, was not only a functional piece of furniture, but also a status symbol. Its dark wood finish and rich copper accents would have complemented the grand decor of the time, while providing ample storage for various household items. But what sets this particular Meuble de Salon apart is the accompanying piece designed specifically for keeping knitting supplies. The integration of this feature speaks to the popularity of knitting as a pastime for women during this era. With the rise of the Industrial Revolution and the increased availability of textiles, knitting became a common hobby for many, and having a designated space for one's supplies was a practical and stylish solution. The intricate details of the Meuble de Salon, from the delicate carvings to the copper handles, are a testament to the craftsmanship of the time. The piece's historical significance and timeless beauty make it a coveted addition to any collection of antique furniture. This photograph, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and elegance. The Meuble de Salon 6, with its accompanying knitting storage, is a reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that continue to inspire and captivate us today.
