AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique showcase in the style of Vernis Martin from the Napoleon III period.
The shape is the classic demi-lune with a central painted panel depicting a gallant scene, and internally, adjustable shelves according to the need.
Laterally, it features the same plant as the front but with painted scenes depicting rural life, all enclosed within bronze trim.
The table is made of French red marble and is surrounded by beautiful bronze frames skillfully chiseled.
The feet have a cabriolet shape ending with bronze socks and are connected by a linear strap.
Historical Notes: One of the most famous lacquer surface finishes in cabinetmaking is of French origin and is called Vernis Martin. This technique was developed in 1728 in Paris by the Martin brothers and aimed to imitate the highly sought-after oriental lacquers of the time, particularly Chinese and Japanese ones, which were extremely expensive.
Based on the use of coppale, it had the characteristic of being relatively easy to apply even on surfaces with strong curvature, something that other lacquers did not tolerate well, although it was also very delicate, especially in contact with water. The large number of layers that composed it also allowed for perfect junctions between nearby surfaces or those with different finishes.
With the historic revival of 18th-century taste in the 19th century, the lacquering techniques of the period were also recovered, and furniture made in the style was once again decorated with this type of finish.
Origin: France (1880/90)
Conditions: Good Condition.
Measurements: 70x35 H160cm.
