EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an exquisite pair of Meubles de Salon, or living room cupboards, from the late 19th century. The first cupboard, to the left, boasts an intricate design in the Louis XV style, characterized by its ornate marquetterie decoration. Marquetry is an art form that involves inlaying pieces of wood, often intricately cut into various shapes, to create intricate patterns and designs. This technique was popular during the Baroque and Rococo periods, and the Louis XV style is known for its opulence and intricate ornamentation. The second cupboard, to the right, is a striking contrast in design. It is crafted in the Louis XVI style, characterized by its sleek, clean lines and the use of black wood and copper accents. The Louis XVI style emerged in the late 18th century and was known for its simplicity and elegance, a departure from the ornate styles of the previous period. Both cupboards are estimated to date from around 1860, a time when the revival of interest in the classical styles of the 18th century was in full swing. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of French furniture design and the enduring appeal of these iconic styles. The Meubles de Salon serve not only as functional storage pieces but also as works of art, reflecting the craftsmanship and artistry of their time.
