Louis XVI Vitrines

LOUIS XVI STYLE

Reflecting the final era of royal opulence before the upheaval of the French Revolution, antique Louis XVI furniture features more angular shapes than the Rococo curves of the Louis XV style, harkening back to the imposing grandeur of Louis XIV.

Dating between 1750 and 1800, an era that overlapped with the last king of France whose reign was cut short by the guillotine, Louis XVI furniture, known as the goût grec, is emblematic of the neoclassical revision that French furniture underwent during the second half of the 18th century.

Authentic Louis XVI furniture characteristics include clean lines and carved details such as scrolls and acanthus flourishes that were inspired by ancient Greece and Rome. This was informed by a burgeoning interest in antiquity in the 18th century, owing to new archaeological excavations at sites including Pompeii and Herculaneum. It largely eclipsed the more East Asian–influenced ornamentation of Louis XV for something more geometric and symmetrical.

The Louis XVI style was defined by what was being created for the palatial rooms at Versailles and Fontainebleau, particularly for the queen, with cabinetmaker Jean-Henri Riesener being a favorite of Marie-Antoinette’s for his luxurious pieces accented with gilded bronze and marquetry. Furniture maker Jean-Baptiste-Claude Sené was also a major designer of the period, with his pieces for the royal residences adorned with giltwood and neoclassical touches like tapered columns for chair legs and laurel leaf carvings. Cabinetmaker Adam Weisweiler occasionally incorporated into his furniture porcelain panels produced by Sèvres, a popular manufacturer of European ceramics that served the crown with serveware, vases and other decorative objects.

Petite Antique French Louis XVI style Bronze Mounted Table Vitrine

Located in Swedesboro, NJ

Dimensions: 29.25 inches high x 16.75 inches wide x 13 inches deep An elegant and exceptionally refined antique French Louis XVI style table vitrine, masterfully crafted with fine mahogany veneers, hand-chased gilt bronze mounts, and beautifully beveled glass panels. Designed to showcase treasured collections while serving as a sophisticated decorative accent, this petite display table embodies the timeless elegance and architectural balance associated with the finest French Neoclassical furniture. Gracefully proportioned and richly detailed, the vitrine features a fully glazed display case with beveled glass on the top and sides, allowing light to illuminate displayed objects from multiple angles. The interior is lined in a rich green presentation fabric, creating a striking contrast against the warm tones of the wood and gilt bronze accents while providing an elegant backdrop for jewelry, objets d'art, watches, silver, miniatures, or other treasured collectibles. The finely constructed case is framed with delicate gilt bronze moldings and hand-chased ormolu mounts that highlight the sophisticated geometry of the design. Every bronze element demonstrates the exceptional level of craftsmanship associated with high-quality French decorative arts, exhibiting crisp detail and refined execution. The subtle shimmer of the gilt bronze complements the rich mahogany finish, creating a luxurious visual balance that feels equally at home in both traditional and contemporary interiors. Raised upon elegant tapering Louis XVI style legs, the vitrine exhibits the clean architectural lines and restrained ornamentation that define the Neoclassical period. Decorative gilt bronze collars accent the upper sections of the legs, while bronze sabots terminate the feet, lending additional refinement and visual continuity throughout the piece. A gracefully shaped lower shelf provides both structural support and additional display or decorative functionality. The shelf echoes the elegant curvature of the table's design while showcasing the rich wood grain and meticulous cabinetmaking found throughout the piece. Fine brass inlay and bronze accents further elevate the overall presentation, demonstrating the superior attention to detail expected from high-quality French furniture. The beveled glass panels create depth and dimension while enhancing the display qualities of the cabinet.

Pair of Louis XVI Style Vitrines with Wedgwood Plaques by Zwiener, circa 1880

Pair of Louis XVI Style Vitrines with Wedgwood Plaques by Zwiener, circa 1880

By Joseph-Emmanuel Zwiener

Located in Brighton, West Sussex

An important pair of Louis XVI style gilt-bronze mounted vitrines with wedgwood Jasperware plaques, by Joseph-Emmanuel Zwiener. French, circa 1880. Stamped 'NZ', 'NZ.309' and 'ZJ' to the reverse of the bronze mounts. Signed to the reverse of the lockplate 'Mon THEAU THIEFFINE Succ./SERRURIER PARIS'. This rare pair of vitrines, each have a shaped Carrera marble top above a frieze centred by a round classical Jasperware plaque flanked by gilt-bronze putti figures and scrolling acanthus running pattern. Below is a gilt-bronze framed bevelled glass door above a panel centred by a finely modelled Jasperware plaque of a putto representing the seasons. The door is flanked to either side by gilt-bronze monnaie pattern and headed by a pair of exceptionally fine female canephor figures. The shaped sides have corresponding bevelled glass panels and the vitrine is raised on tapering fluted legs. The distinctive canephor figures, finely cast as female caryatids with ringlets in their hair and supporting baskets of fruit upon their heads, is a distinctive and celebrated model unique to Zwiener. Many of Zwieners bronzes are executed in the Louis XV style, with flowers and scrolling acanthus leaves and an emphasis on asymmetry, typical of the work of his bronze sculptor Léon Messagé. The mounts employed on this rare pair of vitrines however sees Zwiener creating his own up-to-date reinterpretation of the Louis XVI style, drawing inspiration from established Louis XVI models such as those designed by Weisweiler for Marie-Antoinette's Dressing table. [See Mestdagh, p.305]. A second distinctive feature of the vitrines is the finely modelled Wedgwood Jasperware plaques incorporated in the frieze of each vitrine and beneath the doors. Wedgwood exhibited at nearly all of the Universal Exhibitions held in 19th century France, displaying amongst other pieces, plaques specifically intended to be mounted on to furniture. The first vitrine displays to the frieze a finely modelled plaque in the classical style, depicting a group of putti at play, one being pushed on a swing, while another plays a trumpet and a small attentive dog watches from below. Beneath the glass panelled door a larger Jasperware plaque is incorporated depicting a putto figure with a garland of flowers, emblematic of spring. The second vitrine has a classical plaque...
