Bedside Table, Louis XVI Style "Gaudron" (Heralding Directoire) This superb Louis XVI style bedside table, known as the "Gaudron" model, represents a pivotal moment in French furniture design, serving as an elegant precursor to the later, more austere Directoire style. The piece adheres to the Neoclassical principles of the late 18th century while incorporating distinctive turned elements that give it a unique decorative flair. Key Design Features (From an Antique Furniture Perspective) Material and Finish: It is constructed entirely of solid cherry wood, valued for its density and warm, reddish – brown patina when polished. The clear, natural finish highlights the quality of the wood. Top and Gallery: The rectangular top features a moulded gallery, a delicate railing, typically made of brass, which both serves a practical purpose (preventing items from falling) and offers a classical detail, common on high – quality Louis XVI side tables. Drawer Configuration: The apron (or belt) of the table is fitted with two drawers, offering streamlined storage. The drawers are typically fitted with small brass knobs or simple ring pulls. Legs and "Gadroon Swelling": The table is supported by four tall, straight, turned legs. A highly distinctive feature is the round gadroon swelling tops – a carved, repeating convex or fluted ornament that gives the top of the legs a noticeable, bulbous shape, placed in a ring on a smooth turned shaft. This bold, turned element contrasts with the plain fluting often seen on other Louis XVI pieces and suggests the transition towards the more robust turning patterns favoured in the Directoire Period Style . Lower Shelf: A functional crotch shelf (or undertier) is fixed between the legs, offering additional display or storage space. While "crotch shelf" is an uncommon descriptor, it refers to the lower shelf often seen on French neoclassical guéridons or tables de chevet, usually united by the four feet. Overall, the table's restrained form, combined with the prominent gadroon turning on the legs, makes this a refined and historically interesting piece that elegantly bridges the Louis XVI era with the emerging Directoire aesthetic.Height: 27 inch. Dimensions: Width: 15 inch Depth: 11 inch Height: 68 cm Width: 39 cm Depth: 28 cm. This Hand Crafted piece orignates from the Paris Design House Ateliers Allot [ Ref: 629]

Guéridon "Campan" (Louis XV Style Marquetry) This exceptional piece, styled as the Guéridon "Campan" (Image 637 – 1), is a high – quality reproduction of a model by a great master cabinetmaker of the eighteenth century, with the original design model having been entrusted for restoration. It is a quintessential example of the luxurious Louis XV (Rococo) style, characterized by sensual curves and rich decorative artistry. Marquetry and Veneer: The table is defined by magnificent, intricate marquetry (inlay work). The veneer utilizes exotic and precious woods, specifically rosewood and violet wood (bois de rose et bois de violette), creating a stunning visual display. The front and sides feature bold, sweeping lines of veneer that frame the central motif, which is a spectacular floral basket inlay on the drawer fronts. Form and Curvature: The cabinet has a prominent "Bell shape" (Cloche), meaning the carcase swells out gently (bombé). This fluid form is continued throughout the body, rejecting all straight lines and adhering to the Rococo aesthetic of movement. The bottom apron is dramatically scalloped or waved (mouvementé). Structure: It is constructed from solid cherry wood as the underlying carcase. The practical interior features three drawers stacked vertically. Legs and Mounts: The piece rests on finely arched legs (cabriole). These legs are often terminated in elegant gilt – bronze sabots (feet), and the drawers are fitted with Rococo – style brass handles and escutcheons, often cast in asymmetrical shell or foliage forms that complement the overall design. This guéridon is a remarkable showcase of the Louis XV Period Style 's highest decorative achievements, combining sophisticated marquetry, luxurious materials, and the Period Style 's characteristic curvilinear elegance.Height: 26 inch. Dimensions: Width: 15 inch Depth: 15 inch Height: 67 cm Width: 40 cm Depth: 40 cm. This Hand Crafted piece orignates from the Paris Design House Ateliers Allot [ Ref: 637]

Guéridon "Brodat" (Transition Style) This graceful guéridon, styled as the "Brodat" model is a superb example of the Louis XV/Louis XVI Transition style (c. 1760 – 1774). This influential Period Style marked the shift from the fluid, organic ornamentation of the Rococo (Louis XV) to the ordered, straight lines of Neoclassicism (Louis XVI). Style and Design Elements Transitional Style: The table successfully integrates the aesthetics of both Period Style s. The overall structure retains the elegant, airy scale of a Louis XV side table. Legs (Curved but Formal): The legs are tall cabriole legs (finely arched supports), a hallmark of the Louis XV style. However, their curve is restrained and subtle, giving them a straighter, more formal appearance that anticipates the tapering columns of the Louis XVI style. Marquetry (Geometric and Rococo): The marquetry work perfectly illustrates the transition: Neoclassical Influence: The surfaces (top, drawer, and lower shelf) are dominated by highly rational and geometric parquetry, specifically the complex three – dimensional cube or illusionary trellis pattern. This ordered geometry is a direct reflection of the Neoclassical taste. Rococo Influence: The apron (frieze) is curved inward (cintré), and the central medallion on the drawer often features a small, softer, foliage or floral motif. The lower shelf is also gently scalloped, maintaining a final touch of the Rococo's curvilinear grace. Gilt Bronze Mounts: The table is accented with elegant gilt – bronze sabots (feet). The bronze feet are a feature carried over from the Louis XV era to protect the wood, but are typically smaller and less elaborate during the Transition. Structure: It features a single drawer in the belt and a practical lower shelf, both covered in intricate marquetry. This guéridon is a stunning example of the Transition Period Style , celebrating technical brilliance with its illusionistic parquetry while retaining the graceful movement and intimate scale of its Rococo predecessors. This Hand Crafted piece orignates from the Paris Design House Ateliers Allot [ Ref: 642]

Guéridon "Laussel" (Louis XV Style) This exquisite small cabinet, styled as the Guéridon "Laussel" (Image 646 – 1), is a highly decorative and luxurious piece executed in the high Louis XV (Rococo) style (c. 1730 – 1760). It is a masterful display of ébénisterie, combining rich materials, intricate marquetry, and expressive curvilinear forms. Overall Shape and Curvature: The design is quintessentially Louis XV, defined by its lack of straight lines and its continuous, fluid form. The front and sides are gently curving or serpentine (bombé), with the body resting upon slender cabriole legs. The lower edge of the apron is typically scalloped or waved (mouvementé), ensuring that the movement flows throughout the structure. A particularly luxurious feature is the delicate pierced gallery (galerie ajourée) surrounding the top edge. This gallery offers a decorative flourish, enhancing the elegance of the top, and practically prevents items from sliding off the surface. This pierced design is highly ornamental and reflects the refined taste of the Rococo Period Style . Drawers and Shelf: The structure features two drawers stacked vertically within the curving belt, maintaining the bombé profile of the front. It also includes a practical lower shelf (entrejambe), which is generally curved to follow the movement of the legs. Marquetry and Trim: The surfaces are covered in rosewood and violet marquetry in a losange (diamond/trellis) pattern. The piece is further embellished with elaborate, asymmetrical, and finely chiseled bronze trim and handles (ormolu) that cascade down the stiles and accentuate the curves, enhancing the luxury and movement of the design. This guéridon is a stunning example of the Louis XV aesthetic, characterized by its graceful, curving form, intricate marquetry, and the refined detail of the pierced bronze gallery. Dimensions: Height: 27 inch Width: 16 inch Depth: 12 inch Height: 70 cm Width: 43 cm Depth: 33 cm. This Hand Crafted piece orignates from the Paris Design House Ateliers Allot [ Ref: 646]

Table "Violon" (Louis – Philippe Style) This attractive centre or occasional table, known as the "Violon" (Violin) model (Images 650 – 1 and 650 – 4), is characteristic of the Louis – Philippe style (c. 1830 – 1848), which favoured solid construction, comfortable lines, and a blend of simplified historical motifs. The piece is influenced by designs of Georges Jacob and the subsequent Empire and Restauration styles carried on by his sons, embodying the Period Style 's preference for robust classical turning and stability. Period Style Style: The piece embodies the Louis – Philippe aesthetic – a sturdy, unpretentious style popular with the bourgeoisie, emphasizing function and solidity over excessive ornamentation. It is crafted from solid cherry wood (Merisier massif), which provides a rich, warm finish and the robust durability valued in this era. Shape ("Violon"): The tabletop is the defining feature, having a distinctive "Violon" or violin/kidney shape. This shape is curvilinear and asymmetrical, demonstrating a subtle, lasting influence of the earlier Rococo (Louis XV) taste for serpentine lines, but executed with a simplified, thicker edge profile. Drawers and Apron: The apron (or belt) follows the curved contour of the top and contains either a central drawer or small drawers on the sides. The drawer front is simple, typically featuring a single, undecorated knob. Pedestal and Base: The table is supported by a robust central pedestal base. Pedestal: The central column is boldly turned, featuring a prominent bulbous or spool shape. This heavy turning is typical of Louis – Philippe furniture, providing a strong sense of stability. Feet: The table stands on a tripartite or quadruped scalloped base that features pronounced, outward – sweeping cabriole feet which terminate in scrolls. These scrolling feet, while curved like the cabriole legs of Louis XV, are much heavier and more solid, perfectly illustrating the Louis – Philippe preference for robust, anchored forms. This "Violon" table is a fine reproduction example of 19th – century domestic furniture, successfully combining a graceful, curved top with a strong, solid pedestal base. H67 L130 P80.

Easy Chair "Pichon" (Restauration Style) This comfortable easy chair (fauteuil), styled as the "Pichon" model, is a strong representation of the Restauration style (c. 1815 – 1830), which focused on comfort, elegance, and unpretentious harmony. Style and Manner: The chair embodies the domestic simplicity and comfort prioritized during the Restauration Period Style , offering a lighter, more graceful form than the heavy Empire style that preceded it. It is built in the general Manner of the Parisian Menuisiers (joiners) of the early 19th century, who produced vast quantities of high – quality, elegant seating that focused on strong lines and comfort, such as that made by cabinetmakers in the Faubourg Saint – Antoine. Frame and Construction: The frame is made of solid beechwood. The piece is built for superior comfort, featuring a high, supportive back and a deep seat. It utilizes traditional leaf fibre trimming on helical springs for the cushioning, an innovation of the Period Style that significantly improved the comfort of seating. Arms and Back: The chair features an arched or circular arc backrest. The armrests are padded and rest on boldly turned supports, often described as having a crook and roll or a console form. The exposed wood frame is decorated with delicate ornamentation, typically grooves or light channeling, emphasizing the structural form.Legs The chair's legs are a definitive feature of the Restauration style. Front Legs: The front legs are sturdy and often in a console or turned shape, sometimes described as the "frog leg" shape (pieds de grenouille), which is a recognized symbol of the Restauration style. Rear Legs: The back legs are characteristically straight or splayed outward (saber shaped), providing stability and a subtle flow. Influence: The simple, well – structured lines and quality of execution are influenced by the work of master menuisier Georges Jacob and his subsequent firm, Jacob Frères and Jacob – Desmalter, whose designs laid the groundwork for the restrained Neoclassical styles that defined the 19th century. This chair is a fine illustration of 19th – century domestic elegance, offering a comfortable blend of refined curvature and solid construction.Height: 37 inch. Dimensions: Width: 23 inch Depth: 18 inch Height: 94 cm Width: 59 cm Depth: 46 cm. This Hand Crafted piece orignates from the Paris Design House Ateliers Allot [ Ref: 651]

Bench "Georges Jacob" (Transition Style) This elegant small bench (petit banc), styled in the manner of the great menuisier Georges Jacob (1739 – 1814), is a fine illustration of the Louis XV/Louis XVI Transition style (c. 1760 – 1774). This Period Style bridges the organic curves of the Rococo with the structural formality of Neoclassicism. Design, Carving, and Influence Style and Influence (Jacob): The bench's design is heavily influenced by Georges Jacob, who was a major menuisier (chairmaker) of the late 18th century, transitioning his work from Louis XV grace to Louis XVI classicism. Jacob's early Transition and Louis XVI seating favoured elegant, rectilinear forms and light, crisp carving. Shape and Structure: The bench features a long, rectilinear shape with a clean, straight seat rail, a defining characteristic of the emerging Louis XVI style. Legs and Carving: The bench is supported by six legs, offering structural stability for its length. Form: The legs are straight and tapered, moving away from the Louis XV cabriole curve. This form is a hallmark of the Louis XVI style. Carving: The legs are adorned with vertical fluting (or cannelures), a classical Greek motif that became ubiquitous in the Louis XVI Period Style . The leg terminates in a finely carved foot or sabot. Seat Rail (Apron): The long, straight seat rail (apron) is detailed with carved geometric bands, often incorporating motifs like beading, interlacing, or a repeated stylized pattern. The vertical supports where the legs meet the rail are often topped with a carved die or block featuring a rosette. These decorative motifs are all firmly in the Neoclassical vocabulary. Construction and The frame is constructed from solid beechwood. The seating uses traditional leaf fibre trimming on helical springs, reflecting 19th – century improvements in comfort applied to an 18th – century style. The upholstery features a luxurious patterned fabric with vertical stripes and elaborate floral or urn motifs. This small bench is a superb illustration of the Transition and Louis XVI aesthetic, prioritizing classical architectural line, symmetry, and restrained, crisp carving in the manner of a major 18th – century master. Height: 47 cm. Dimensions: Width: 153 cm Depth: 43 cm. This Hand Crafted piece orignates from the Paris Design House Ateliers Allot [ Ref: 652]

Lady's Desk "Bordelais" (Louis XV Style) This charming piece, styled as the Lady's Desk "Bordelais", is a sophisticated representation of the Louis XV (Rococo) style (c. 1730 – 1760), and specifically references the style prevalent in the Bordeaux region (Bordelais), known for its richly carved provincial furniture. Design, Carving, and Function Style and Form: The desk is a type of secrétaire en pente (slant – front desk) or bureau de pente, defined by its dramatically curvilinear form (bombé). The sides are curved, and the front swells outward, demonstrating the Rococo rejection of straight lines. It is crafted from solid cherrywood (merisier massif), a quality fruitwood favoured in provincial regions like Bordeaux for its rich colour and suitability for deep carving. Carving and Decoration (Bordelais Style): The decoration is achieved through extensive wood carving, typical of the Bordelais Louis XV style, rather than the intricate marquetry found in Parisian pieces. Front: The slant – front top and the drawer fronts below are ornately carved with scrolling rocaille (shell – like) and foliage motifs. The carving creates framed panels that emphasize the curves of the piece. Apron and Knees: The lower apron is highly scalloped (mouvementé) and features a prominent, deeply carved central shell motif. The cabriole legs are accented by carved foliage at the knees. Functionality: The slant – front drops down to reveal a fitted interior known as a "tabernacle". This interior contains a central writing surface (often leather – lined) and multiple small, graduating drawers and open compartments for storing papers and writing implements. The main body contains several large drawers below the writing surface. Hardware: The desk is fitted with ornate, bronze handles and escutcheons. These elements are chased in elaborate, asymmetrical designs that follow and enhance the serpentine lines of the carving. Legs: The desk stands on short, highly arched cabriole legs that terminate in a carved or scrolled foot. This "Bordelais" lady's desk is a superb example of French Louis XV provincial furniture, combining elegant curves with rich, deep wood carving and practical functionality. Dimensions: Height: 39 inch Width: 49 inch Depth: 21 inch Height: 100 cm Width: 125 cm Depth: 54 cm. This Hand Crafted piece orignates from the Paris Design House Ateliers Allot [ Ref: 653]

Louis XVI Lyre – Back Chair (Neoclassical Style) This superb chair is a classic and highly detailed representation of the Louis XVI (Neoclassical) style (c. 1774 – 1792), celebrated for its elegant, symmetrical forms and refined use of classical motifs. The design is strictly Louis XVI, characterized by its adherence to straight lines and architectural symmetry. The chair is a chaise (side chair). Backrest (Lyre Back): The most defining feature is the Lyre back (dossier en lyre). This motif is a direct and powerful reference to classical Greek and Roman antiquity, symbolizing Apollo, music, and the arts. The carved wooden frame precisely takes the shape of a lyre, often with strings represented by vertical slats. Legs: The supports are the signature Louis XVI style: straight, tapered, and deeply fluted (cannelures). The legs are further adorned with classical rings and grooves. Carving and Detail: The frame is finished with exceptional hand – carving: Beading: The chair features beading (a sequence of carved small spheres or ovals) along the seat rail and often on the outer edge of the backrest, a common Neoclassical motif. Rosettes: The square dies (blocks) where the legs meet the seat rail are crisply carved with rosettes Material, Finish, and Influences Material and Finish: The sturdy frame is made of solid beech wood. The wood often features a polychrome or painted finish (as shown by the red/pink detailing), which was popular in the late 18th century for high – end seating, further emphasizing the classical lines. Construction and Comfort: The seat is generously proportioned and utilizes traditional leaf fibre trimming on helical springs, demonstrating 19th – century construction techniques applied to an 18th – century design. Influence (Manner of Sené): The chair’s aesthetic, particularly its refined use of classical motifs and precise carving, is highly influenced by the work of master menuisier Jean – Baptiste – Claude Sené (1747 – 1803). Sené was known for the exceptional quality and refinement of his carving and for his perfectly balanced, elegant Louis XVI seating. His designs often featured the tight fluting, beaded borders, and classical motifs seen here, directly influencing the look of this piece. This Lyre – back chair is a definitive piece of Neoclassical furniture, celebrated for its structural elegance and sophisticated classical ornamentation, reflecting the mastery of makers like Sené. Height: 36 inch. Dimensions: Width: 16 inch Depth: 16 inch Height: 92 cm Width: 43 cm Depth: 43 cm. This Hand Crafted piece orignates from the Paris Design House Ateliers Allot [ Ref: 656]
