Note

Deux fauteuils néo-Renaissance aux dossiers ajourés de profils casqués

Les dossiers, hauts et cintrés, se lisent comme des panneaux sculptés. Au centre de chacun, un médaillon présente un profil de guerrier casqué, différent d'un fauteuil à l'autre, entre deux figures ailées dont le corps se perd en rinceaux ajourés. Une rosace couronne le fronton. Les accoudoirs s'enroulent en crosses feuillagées d'acanthe ; l'assise, un simple plateau de bois, repose sur une ceinture chantournée, des pieds en console terminés en boules godronnées et une entretoise en X centrée d'un fleuron tourné. Le bois, d'un brun chaud, a pris un poli doux sur les parties saillantes.

Né en France sous Louis-Philippe, le style néo-Renaissance, dit aussi Henri II, reprend les formes de la seconde Renaissance française, grotesques et feuilles d'acanthe en tête. Les styles d'inspiration Renaissance apparaissent vers 1840 et déclinent vers 1890, sans disparaître tout à fait au début du XXe siècle. Des fauteuils néo-Renaissance en noyer sculpté, ornés de putti, de feuillages et de masques de lion, sont datés d'environ 1860 à 1880. La fiche date cette paire du XIXe siècle et la classe dans la Haute époque, Renaissance, Louis XIII : un meuble de style, non d'époque.

Read in English

The backs, tall and arched, read as carved panels. At the centre of each a medallion shows the profile of a helmeted warrior, different from one chair to the other, between two winged figures whose bodies dissolve into pierced scrolling foliage. A rosette crowns the pediment. The arms curl into acanthus-leaf scrolls; the seat, a plain board of wood, rests on a shaped apron, console legs ending in gadrooned bun feet and an X-stretcher centred by a turned finial. The wood, a warm brown, has taken a soft polish on its raised parts.

Born in France under Louis-Philippe, the Neo-Renaissance style, also called Henri II, takes up the forms of the second French Renaissance, grotesques and acanthus leaves foremost. Renaissance-inspired styles appeared around 1840 and declined around 1890, without vanishing entirely in the early twentieth century. Neo-Renaissance armchairs in carved walnut, adorned with putti, foliage and lion masks, are dated to about 1860 to 1880. The listing dates this pair to the nineteenth century and files it under High Period, Renaissance and Louis XIII: a piece in the style, not of the period.
