GABRIEL VIARDOT (Paris, 1830-1906).Display cabinet.In carved walnut wood. Gilt bronze applications.With key.Signed.Measurements: 173 x 81 x 41 cm.Chinese-Japanese furniture whose main body opens by means of three glass panels that allow to see the upholstered interior. Its light, stylised structure features elements frequently found in Gabriel Viardot's ornamental background, such as the dragon in high relief at the top and the oriental influence of the rest of the piece of furniture. It is an architecturally conceived display case, raised on mixtilinear legs of typically oriental character, with a waist decorated with a fretwork border, a hinged door with a mixtilinear profile and a top conceived as a traditional Chinese roof. The latter is notable for its upturned eaves, a type of decoration that appeared during the Han dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD) and was the standard type used until the Song dynasty (960 - 1279).Gabriel Viardot was a cabinetmaker specialising in the production of furniture of the "Sino-Japanese genre". He began his career as a wood sculptor in 1849, when he sent some pieces of naturalistic decorative furniture to the horticultural exhibition. He then became the head of a small team of sculptors when he was only 19 years old. In 1853, he had a factory and a furniture shop located in Rambuteau. At this time, Gabriel Viardot worked with his brother Louis Gustave under the name "Viardot Brothers and Co.". In 1860, he opened his own workshop, "G. Viardot" in Grand-Chantier, a family business which he maintained until 1872. He decided to devote himself to "Sino-Japanese style furniture", which he saw predominantly at the 1867 World's Fair. At the same exhibition, Viardot won four medals. It was for this production that he was awarded a silver medal at the 1878 World's Fair. His furniture was produced thanks to lacquered and carved panels sent directly from China or Japan and decorated with mother-of-pearl inlays from Tonkin. Of the bronze ornaments he made all the designs by hand. Over the years, his success continued to grow, especially at the Nice exhibitions and the eighth exhibition of the Central Union of Decorative Arts in 1884. In 1885, he took part in the World Exhibition in Antwerp, where he won a gold medal. At this time, the shop employed 90 to 100 workers, sculptors or cabinetmakers. After this exhibition, Viardot was promoted to the rank of Chevalier in the Legion of Honour (29 December 1885). In 1889, he took part in the World Exhibition held in Paris and received a gold medal. He won the same prize at the 1900 World's Fair.

Important cabinet Napoleon III. France, late 19th century.Satinwood. With marquetry of fruit wood and boxwood, ebonised wood, mother-of-pearl inlay and gilt and patinated bronze applications.Measurements: 190,5 x 125 x 39 cm.French Cabinet of Napoleon III style, dated at the end of the 19th century, raised on table with stipe legs connected by means of chambrana. The furniture stands out for its classical forms, which are adapted to a dynamic ornamental pattern, in which the interplay of volumes and materials provides great expressiveness, breaking with the rigidity of the most purist classicism. The cabinet itself has a prismatic structure, typical of this typology, and has two large hinged doors that conceal two shelves inside. The exterior of the cabinet is richly decorated with marquetry, with Renaissance-inspired candelieri ornamentation, which was widely used in France and Spain in different artistic periods. It is a highly stylised, variegated decoration made up of vegetal elements that resemble candelabra, an aspect that determined the term 'candelieri' as it is known in Italian. The exceptional nature of this piece is further enhanced by the mother-of-pearl inlay that completes its front, as well as the gilt-bronze floral motifs that complement the design. In the Napoleon III style, the whole piece is decorated with gilt and patinated bronze applications which, like the rest of the decoration, are continued on the sides of the piece. These are plant motifs that run along the upper friezes on both sides of the table and the cabinet itself. The decoration culminates in certain ebonised elements, both on the legs and on the profile that delimits the candelieri decoration on the front, which increase the dynamism and the play of materials that dominate the entire piece of furniture.

Lot 39
Napoleon III showcase. France, mid-19th century.Mahogany, marble top and gilded bronze.Measurements: 160 x 68 x 34 cm.French display cabinet from the Napoleon III period, with a design of eighteenth-century inspiration, halfway between classicism and rococo. It consists of a semi-cylindrical body, with a curved glass enclosure set in a mahogany wood structure. The piece rests on cabriole legs. Gilded bronze appliqués with vegetal motifs cover the knees, skirt, keyholes and the top. On the latter, the bronze elements form a stylised fretwork preceded by an ornamental fringe, also in gilt bronze, which borders the top. A marbled marble top is surrounded by an openwork gallery. The applied bronze elements are repeated with variations throughout the structure, in the form of dynamic mouldings in bas-relief and vegetal borders, which also surround the sideboards. The sideboards, covered in burgundy velvet, are compartmentalised into four shelves.
Lot 58

The top is raised on grooved stipe legs connected by means of a chambrana. The piece of furniture stands out for the rich decoration worked with fine marquetry, with Renaissance-inspired candelieri ornamentation, based on stylised vegetation using various fruit woods. In the centre of the panel, within a cartouche, a fruit composition is depicted in marquetry, also of Renaissance heritage. The vegetal decoration continues at the waist, and as is characteristic of the Napoleon III style, the whole is ornamented with gilt-bronze appliqués around the tabletop, the cut-out skirt, the mouldings on the legs and the chambrana.
