THE GLORY OF KINGS EMBODIED IN OUR TABLES

From the Sun King to Napoleon, from the Baroque to the Neoclassical, our Re-Editions interpret and revive the designs of furniture carved and crafted by the cabinetmakers and sculptors of the Age of Enlightenment. Their beguiling moods are recreated for our present time to convey the unaltered emotions of a past looking towards the future and the contemporary world.

Virtuosic flourishes of acanthus clusters and shell motifs follow one another with the other fancifully elaborated decorations in the wavy and sinuous movements characteristic to Baroque furniture, the exaltation and affirmation of the absolute power of Louis XIV, the Sun King and his pageantry.
Then we move on to the linear grace of the flowery arabesques, the references to oriental cultures and the decorative aspects, which under the reign of Louis XV took on the name of Rococo, a style of redoubtable lightness and whimsicality, which is also said to have been greatly influenced by the great Ladies of the time, Madame de Pompadour and Du Barry.

And finally, in contrast to the excessive pomp, with the advent of Louis XVI, more sober forms were favoured, volutes and curves disappeared and the straight line asserted itself, on which frets and garlands, festoons and bows, cornucopias and rosettes unfolded in light gold on tables and beds, consoles and seating, exalting the veneration of the classical era of history.
