Welcome to a video which presents a most unusual museum quality work of decorative art, or French period “antique” from the early 19th century. This episode also bolsters previous discussions of this misunderstood final decade of the traditional decorative arts (the 1830s/fine furniture of the early Louis-Philippe period).
I hope you will find these videos entertaining and informative and that they will enhance your understanding of and discernment with regard to Furniture from the past. This piece is a fine Parisian work of veneer art, as opposed to solid wood pieces from regional cities often loosely called “provincial.” Don’t hesitate to consult this channel’s other videos about these different varieties and periods of fine French antiques.
Many thanks to all viewers, customers, and subscribers,
