Identify Antique Console Furniture Style










I Get this email from Carreen and Matthew Schroeder and i wish from all blog readers to help her by sharing your comments 


I am doing an internet search and wondered if you might be interested in the following item and/or if you could help us give it an appropriate value.  If you are interested, please contact me, Carreen, at 716-531-1359 or my husband Matthew at (716) 523-9790.  We are in the Western New York area.

I was fortunate enough to receive a response email from Mr. Leigh Keno of the Antique Road Show, who agreed with the antique furniture dealer from whom I purchased this set, that it is indeed  Antique Italian Console which is difficult for him to give an appropriate evaluation of the age through the pictures.  I've forwarded you Mr. Keno's email to me and the same pictures I've sent to him.  Any help you could offer us, would be greatly appreciated.


Dear Ms. Schroeder,

Thank you for your email and kind words!   I agree that the Set is Italian but I can’t tell how old it is from the photos. It may be early 20th century or later.

I am sorry you are in a financial crisis---depending on where you are you could try Cottones ( an auction house upstate) .  Dealers are reluctant to buy right now but you could try. Did you pay a lot? .

I really wish you good luck with everything.  

Sincerely,

Leigh

Jacques Jean Baptiste Tilliard Settee







Stamped Jacques Jean Baptiste Tilliard Settee

Circa : 1770 - 1775
Style : Louis XVI
Country of Origin : France , Paris
Material used : Gilded beech and walnut; modern silk velvet upholstery

Louis XVI Chairs came in a variety of shapes and sizes in eighteenth-century France, with carving frequently matching that on other pieces of furniture such as Italian Console and Mirror , settees, French mirrors, or the wood paneling. By the 1700s two types of chairs had developed for formal and more relaxed seating arrangements. Chaises furnishing chairs were designed without carving on their backs and were arranged symmetrically against the wall around the sides of a room. Chaises - running chairs could be moved around a room and were designed to be seen from all sides.

This set of antique living rooms consist of  four antique French chairs and a settee ( 3 seat sofa ) was designed to be arranged against a wall. The antique wooden frames are fairly massive, yet the carving of the decorative elements is extremely fine. The decoration incorporates such Neoclassical motifs as crisp acanthus leaves, egg-and-dart molding, and straight, fluted legs.
