Handbook of Furniture Styles FOREWORD In scanning my library of books on old fu rnitu re o o on of th em m and peri d dec rati , some huge volu es , I have o ften wondered why no one had ever pub li shed a small book of ready reference on the historic I o n . fur iture styles Such a volume, realized, w uld n c o n be e essarily inc mplete, its treatme t perhaps m n o frag e tary and superficial , and it w uld possess other obvi ous defec ts when viewed either as a stand o of n o r ard w rk refere ce as a readable treatise . It o n o f to n w uld be ecessary, course, omit many i ter n and n o esti g importa t details , and the average auth r o o o is l ath t d this . But it seemed to me that the unavoidable short comings of such a book would be j ustified by its . A on practical usefulness c cise, abbreviated survey of the decorative peri ods would often be most help o not o r ful , particularly for th se who have the time e oo the inclination to study th large b ks . Something like a concordance of the peri od styles was what I I n had i n mind . had reaso to believe that there [V ] FOREWORD was a need for something i n the way of a printed guide which would most effectively assist th e average person in ans wering those universally puzzling ques tions of how to identify any period style or place n and any piece of fur iture, by what specific means n u one o to disti g ish style fr m another . I have consequently se t aside my principles of sci entific c c o n for m n ac ura y and c mplete ess the ti e bei g, and have made the attempt to produce such a brief bad e me cu m n or survey, , ma ual , syllabus, whatever o o I y u may ch ose to call it . have presumed to add ano ther volume to an already extensive literature on the furniture styles because I believed that this par ti cu l ar kind o f v olume would meet a genuine and n particular eed . Such condens ation of a big subj ect must inevi n tably result in sins of omissio , if not of commission . I am fully aware of the defects inherent in this sort o f treatment ; I kn o w j ust what the critics and re viewers will say ; and I am moved to forestall their c on and and criticism by ertain admissi s disclaimers , to i nform th e purchaser o f this volume exactly what he is getting for his money . o in t In the first place , there is n thing new his o book . It does not pretend to be the result f orig n ot inal research . There is a fact or a conclusion in [vi ] FOREWORD it that is not to be found in any one o f a dozen o n larger and hands omer volumes . I do n t thi k I have added one j ot to the sum of human knowledge on this subj ect ; I have merely sorted ou t that knowl — edge and now present it in a new dress or undress . This work does not pretend to be exhaustive , com h o o of prehensive, complete . W le bl cks facts are o one o f deliberately omitted . My pr blem has been n o I n o selection a d eliminati n . have e deav red to ff o to reduce a large , di use subj ect to l west terms , o o n to to n and b il it d w , strip it its esse tials , the reader need l ook fo r little mo re than a wo rking ou t n li e . I not c c o do even laim pre ise accuracy . Abs lute truth in these things demands subtle distinctions and fine discriminations whi ch take up Space and are o often tedi us . I have sought to interpret these o n things more br adly, satisfied with correctness i its larger sense . If I have strained a point now and then in the effort to accentuate the lines o f demarca o f I find u stifi tion and the bases classification, my j cation i n the belief that I have thus simplified what too o I is often made c mplicated, and that have ren dered more comprehensible and more easily remem bered a matter that many persons tell me they still find confusing . [vii] FOREWORD I c have, in short, sacrifi ed other ends to the single o o f o o purp se c mpiling a small , handy v lume on the n o o pri cipal hist ric furniture styles, in the h pe that it will fill the l ong-felt want for the essential facts n i n m prese ted quickly available for , and that it may o f serve as the primer a fascinating and useful study . For the convenience of such persons as may be n o to n o e c uraged delve more deeply i t the subj ect, I shall add at the end of this volume a list of books . on It is not a complete list , but it is l g enough for c o n all pra tical purp ses, and it i cludes the works of To t I the leading authorities . many of hese authors n n n am personally i debted, havi g co sulted their works n th e o f t oo freque tly in preparation his handb k .

  • Discover the Styles and Techniques of French Master Carvers and Gilders
    LOUIS STYLE rench rames F 1610–1792F SEPTEMBER 15, 2015–JANUARY 3, 2016 What makes a frame French? Discover the styles and techniques of French master carvers and gilders. This magnificent frame, a work of art in its own right, weighing 297 pounds, exemplifies French style under Louis XV (reigned 1723–1774). Fashioned by an unknown designer, perhaps after designs by Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier (French, 1695–1750), and several specialist craftsmen in Paris about 1740, it was commissioned by Gabriel Bernard de Rieux, a powerful French legal official, to accentuate his exceptionally large pastel portrait and its heavy sheet of protective glass. On this grand scale, the sweeping contours and luxuriously carved ornaments in the corners and at the center of each side achieve the thrilling effect of sculpture. At the top, a spectacular cartouche between festoons of flowers surmounted by a plume of foliage contains attributes symbolizing the fair judgment of the sitter: justice (represented by a scale and a book of laws) and prudence (a snake and a mirror). PA.205 The J. Paul Getty Museum © 2015 J. Paul Getty Trust LOUIS STYLE rench rames F 1610–1792F Frames are essential to the presentation of paintings. They protect the image and permit its attachment to the wall. Through the powerful combination of form and finish, frames profoundly enhance (or detract) from a painting’s visual impact. The early 1600s through the 1700s was a golden age for frame making in Paris during which functional surrounds for paintings became expressions of artistry, innovation, taste, and wealth. The primary stylistic trendsetter was the sovereign, whose desire for increas- ingly opulent forms of display spurred the creative Fig.

  • Sacred Places Europe: 108 Destinations
    Reviews from Sacred Places Around the World “… the ruins, mountains, sanctuaries, lost cities, and pilgrimage routes held sacred around the world.” (Book Passage 1/2000) “For each site, Brad Olsen provides historical background, a description of the site and its special features, and directions for getting there.” (Theology Digest Summer, 2000) “(Readers) will thrill to the wonderful history and the vibrations of the world’s sacred healing places.” (East & West 2/2000) “Sites that emanate the energy of sacred spots.” (The Sunday Times 1/2000) “Sacred sites (to) the ruins, sanctuaries, mountains, lost cities, temples, and pilgrimage routes of ancient civilizations.” (San Francisco Chronicle 1/2000) “Many sacred places are now bustling tourist and pilgrimage desti- nations. But no crowd or souvenir shop can stand in the way of a traveler with great intentions and zero expectations.” (Spirituality & Health Summer, 2000) “Unleash your imagination by going on a mystical journey. Brad Olsen gives his take on some of the most amazing and unexplained spots on the globe — including the underwater ruins of Bimini, which seems to point the way to the Lost City of Atlantis. You can choose to take an armchair pilgrimage (the book is a fascinating read) or follow his tips on how to travel to these powerful sites yourself.” (Mode 7/2000) “Should you be inspired to make a pilgrimage of your own, you might want to pick up a copy of Brad Olsen’s guide to the world’s sacred places.

  • A Pair of Neoclassical Style Porcelain Mounted Side Cabinets
    Jules Piret A Pair of Neoclassical Style Porcelain Mounted Side Cabinets Circa: Circa 1855 110 x 63 x 42 cm (43¹/ x 24³/ inches) Mahogany Gilt-Bronze Porcelain France 1855 Stamped to the reverse of the bronze mounts to the doors ‘J Piret’. The back of each cabinet branded with ‘LPI’ below a crown for Louis-Philippe-Joseph II, Duc d'Orléans (1747-93). A Rare and Highly Important Pair of Neoclassical Style Gilt-Bronze and Biscuit Porcelain Mounted Mahogany Side Cabinets, by Jules Piret. French, circa 1860 incorporating 18th century elements. The porcelain plaques late 18th century. Stamped to the reverse of the bronze mounts to the doors ‘J Piret’. Stamped to the interior of one cabinet ‘J.H. RIESENER JME’. The back of each cabinet branded with ‘LPI’ below a crown for Louis-Philippe-Joseph II, Duc d'Orléans (1747-93). Each cabinet has a gilt-bronze three-quarter gallery and an inset grey marble top, above a cupboard door centred by a very fine biscuit porcelain plaque depicting a maiden with a vase of flowers against a pale blue reserve, set within finely cast gilt-bronze acanthus frames, the corners of the door mounted with flower head rosettes and the lock concealed by a thumb slide to the gilt-bronze encadrement; the uprights carved as fluted half columns adorned with gilt-bronze harebells and each cabinet raised on turned tapering legs headed by lotus cast mounts and terminating in whorl cast feet. This exceptional pair of cabinets epitomise the sophistication of furniture created in Paris during the mid-nineteenth century; the simpler neo-classical forms, that came to predominate during the Restoration, being enlivened with a refined ornamentation taken from the XVI period to achieve a successful aesthetic balance whilst affirming a positive continuity with the ancien regime.

STOKES COMPANY '^'/^^ , ? u4 eKJ\J\ Printed in Great Britain ' hi K- 5 b f'i> INTRODUCTION: SOME SETS OF FURNITURE UNDER m \/ LOUIS XIV The Louis XIV style is one that chance has en- dowed with a splendid name, Louis Ouatorze. Those sonorous, sumptuous syllables, as rich as the gold of the Gallery of Mirrors at Versailles, are they not in themselves completely expressive ? If the Louis XV style was to ex- press a whole society of voluptuous refinement, the Louis XIV style is verily the style of the King. It was to satisfy his taste, to express his mind, to titillate his pride and to proclaim his glory that Le Brun and Le Pautre devised their pompous decorations, that Perrault and Mansard marshalled their columns and raised their cupolas, that Le Nostre planted his alleys on lines meted out by stretched cords, that the Kellers founded bronze, that Domenico Cucci and Claude Ballin chased precious metals, that Andre-Charles Boulle cunningly wedded brass and tortoise shell with ebony in the Louvre, and at the Gobelins the lapidaries matched the stones of Florence, the cabinet-makers put together their ingenious cabinets, the silver- smiths made tables and pots for orange trees out of solid silver, the tapestry workers wove their enormous hangings stitch by stitch, while at vi INTRODUCTION Tourlaville the glass workers made mirrors larger and clearer than those of Venice, Whole volumes might be written on the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles without even a mention of the princes whose names they bear, but this would be quite impossible with the style we are about to discuss in this little book.
