\r\nFrance, 19th century","additional_info":[{"title":"19TH CENTURY FRENCH FURNITURE","text":"The second half of the 19th century is, undoubtedly, the age when decorative arts favoured the revivalist taste, the fusion of styles and the collecting. At an age when society looked attentively at the past, the greatest masters of previous centuries were inevitably reinterpreted by the new artists, hence promoting the emergence of quality replicas that were accepted by their contemporaries as genuine works of art. The glory of the golden age of Versailles was reborn in the decorative arts, particularly in furniture, inspired by the artistic character of the reigns of Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI and by the much admired prototypes of the great furniture makers such as Andr\u00e9-Charles Boulle (1642-1732), Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Oeben (1721-1763) or Jean-Henri Riesener (1734-1806).
\r\nIn 1860s Paris there a noticeable increase in the number of luxury furniture making workshops which, in that period employed 2000 workers, a figure in stark contrast with the 14,500 employed by the lower quality furniture making workshops. Luxury furniture makers were amongst the most privileged Paris craftsmen, being responsible for the production of exceptional pieces of furniture often destined to the French Imperial House or to other European Royal Courts.
\r\nAs had already happened in the 18th century, cabinetmakers were among the privileged craftsmen of Paris, in charge of producing excellent quality furniture, normally destined to the French imperial house and other European royal houses, namely the Portuguese one. An example of this is the furniture that we can find in the collection of the National Palace of Ajuda in Lisbon.

In 1871, when Prussia invades that French territory, the Rinck were forced to abandon their homeland to settle in Paris, at 8, Passage de la Bonne Graine, in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine area. By then they distinguished themselves as furniture makers, producing in the Napoleon III style and replicating 18th century prototypes, such as is the case with the present lot.
\r\nMaison Rinck still maintains an important production of contemporary furniture.
