Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Japanese-style living room composed of a sofa and 2 armchairs entirely carved with Asian symbols: fans, armrests with dragon heads, legs in the shape of animal paws, flowers and openwork Chinese knots.

The seats are upholstered in a silky blue fabric decorated with flowers.

Good overall condition, with a few small dents; the backrest trim is missing, and perhaps some pediment elements on the top of the backrests.

Work in the taste of Gabriel Viardot: a French cabinetmaker, Gabriel Viardot was quick to take an interest in Japonisme, the artistic movement in vogue at the time. He was one of the first to make it his specialty: the Maison Viardot produced furniture in Chinese or Japanese styles, adapted to European tastes while including genuine Asian ornaments (lacquer panels, mother-of-pearl).
This blend gave Viardot's creations a preciousness and luxury that were highly prized at the time: they met with great success at the World's Fairs, a success that continues to this day due to the extremely decorative nature of the pieces.
