Piedmont, Louis XVI
Mirror with crest
Carved and gilded wood, cm 164 x 104
Light, cm 90 x 70
The Louis XVI mirror in question, of clear Piedmontese manufacture, was made of carved and gilded wood and has a fretworked crest on top decorated with volute friezes.
The Louis XVI style in furniture precedes the reign of Louis XVI (1774-1793) by a few years, from which it takes its name, and is characterized by the renunciation of curved and extroverted forms, in favor of a straight line, simpler, sober and geometric, inspired by Greek-Roman classicism.
Even today, Louis XVI furnishings are synonymous with elegance and prestige. The furnishings that date back to this era follow, therefore, a simple but at the same time elegant and refined taste, and are cared for in every detail with extreme precision, as we can also see in this mirror. The technical perfection of their execution is so high that it is almost impossible to create copies, which is why it is very rare for Louis XVI style frames and furniture to be faked.
The Louis XVI style was considered the golden age of French furniture, where the demand from the aristocracy was high and frequent.
