Rococo mirror.

Large wall mirror in the Rococo style. Carved wood, gilding. Measure and harmony define it. Neither the diagonal of the garrulous putti, nor the roccaille framing of the top and bottom violate the discreet oval of the mirror. Its smooth silhouette subordinates the decor to harmony and is full of chamber lyrics. The frame is richly decorated with rocaille elements: foliage, roses and putti holding garlands of flowers. H-135 cm.

PAIR OF EMPIRE STYLE ARMCHAIRS FRANCE, FIRST QUARTER OF THE 19TH CENTURY

PAIR OF EMPIRE STYLE ARMCHAIRS FRANCE, FIRST QUARTER OF THE 19TH CENTURY

A distinguished pair of Empire period armchairs crafted from mahogany and adorned with gilt bronze mounts. The chairs form an elegant semi-cylindrical volume with straight, architecturally emphatic front legs and dynamically curved rear supports. The high sweeping arms merge seamlessly into the backrests and terminate in finely cast gilt bronze ram’s heads, serving as the principal symbolic and decorative accents. The primary ornamentation is concentrated on the façade: the legs and horizontal stretchers are enriched with delicately executed grotesques echoing the ram motif, as well as arabesques with trumpeting trophies, pearls, and shells. The warm, deep tone of the polished mahogany provides a refined contrast to the brilliance of the gilt bronze. The upholstery is executed in classical patterned textile with vegetal motifs, harmoniously complementing the строгая architectural clarity of the form.Dimensions: Height: 78 cm. Width: 53 cm.Condition: After professional full restoration. The structure has been stabilised, the mahogany carefully conserved, the gilt bronze mounts cleaned and secured, and the upholstery renewed with respect for the historical character of the pieces.Provenance: Private European collection.

SECRETARY DESK WITH A PAINTED PANEL, PAUL SORMANI FRANCE, PARIS, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

SECRETARY DESK WITH A PAINTED PANEL, PAUL SORMANI FRANCE, PARIS, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

A museum-quality secrétaire created in the Parisian workshop of Paul Sormani, representing an outstanding example of French furniture of the second half of the 19th century, executed in the spirit of Historicism with refined references to the Louis XV style. The carcass is made of solid wood and veneered with kingwood, carefully selected for its grain and tone and laid in a precise geometric pattern that emphasizes the architectural clarity of the form.The secrétaire stands on tall cabriole legs richly adorned with gilt-bronze mounts. The flowing curves of the legs and their bases are accentuated by bronze elements with vegetal motifs, lending the piece visual lightness and elegant dynamism.The principal artistic focal point is the large painted panel set into the fall-front, depicting classical lovers running toward a fountain, surrounded by cupids. Executed in the academic tradition, the composition displays finely modelled figures, soft chiaroscuro and a painterly depth of landscape background. The panel is framed by an elaborate gilt-bronze mount with rocaille scrolls, floral tendrils and corner mascarons in the form of female heads organically integrated into the decorative structure of the façade.Beneath the fall-front is a drawer decorated with undulating bronze foliage and refined handles. The interior is rationally and functionally arranged: the upper section divided by a shelf, the lower fitted with four small drawers in mahogany, two of which lock with a key. The writing surface is lined with green velvet, creating a noble contrast with the warm tones of the wood and gilt bronze.The upper section of the secrétaire is finished with a broad horizontal surface enclosed by an elegant gilt-bronze balustrade, reinforcing the ceremonial character of the piece and the completeness of its composition. The lockplate bears the maker’s signature with the Paris workshop address.Marks: Maker’s lockplate signed “Paul Sormani, 10 r. Charlot, Paris”.Dimensions: Height: 137 cm. Width: 87 cm. Depth: 39 cm.Condition: Good.Provenance: Private European collection.
