A Large Pair of French 19th Century Louis XIV Style Rectangular Stools

About the Item

A Large Pair of French 19th century Louis XIV Style rectangular stools Four baluster feet very finely carved with acanthus leaves, arabesques, and gadroons joined by a strecher Circa 1880 The Louis XIV style is a style of furniture covering more or less the period of the reign of Louis XIV (1661 to 1715) and taken up again at the end of the 19th century under Napoleon III. This style is characterized by the majesty and richness of its furniture. It is during this period that the marquetry technique called "Boulle marquetry" is developed. The furniture is more and more luxurious, but unlike the previous styles, it is almost no longer inspired by architecture. There are two kinds of furniture: ceremonial furniture richly decorated with veneers and inlays (André-Charles Boulle), gilded solid wood and bourgeois furniture in solid wood. The style is characterized above all by its absolute symmetry and a large and ostentatious dimension. Italian and antique inspiration (victorious, graceful Rome, Julius Caesar, etc.). The panels have a characteristic style. They can be notched at the four corners, at the two upper corners and arched or even "arched with projections". The feet are in balusters or consoles. The spacers go from H-shaped to X-shaped. Marquetry experiences a significant boom with Boulle marquetry.
