About the Item

An extraordinary fine and Palatial French Louis XV style 19th century ebonized lacquered Chinoiserie style and finely chased gilt bronze-mounted two drawer Serpentine commode with marble top, in the manner of Jacques Dubois (mai^tre 1742), attributed to Joseph-E´mmanuel Zwiener (1849-1895), circa 1890. Measures: Height 34 inches (86.4 cm). Width 60 inches (152.4 cm). Depth 26 inches (66 cm). Joseph Emmanuel Zwiener was born in Herdon, Germany, in 1849, he followed the tradition of some of the best e´bnistes of the 19th century. He moved to Paris establishing a workshop at 12, rue de la Roquette, between 1880 and 1895. He produced a wide array of the very finest furniture, modelling in his own interpretations of the 18th century Louis XV Rococo style, veneered with the highest and finest quality marquetry and 'Vernis Martin' panels. Exhibiting at the Exposition Universelle, Paris, in 1889, Zwiener was awarded a gold medal for what the jury reported as 'de` ses de`buts a` une Exposition Universelle, [il] s'est mi au premier rang par la richesse, la hardinesse, et le fini de ses meubles incruste´s de bronze et fort habilment marquete´s.' A Group of furniture by Zwiener commissioned by Freidrich Wilhelm II of Prussia and exhibited at the Exposition Universelle, Paris in 1900, was sold at Sotheby's New York June 29th, 1989, lot 270-275. Zwiener was closely associated with Franc¸ois Linke and the two houses produced work which, at first glance, is remarkably similar and with occasionally identical mounts. The similarities are made more likely by the fact that the brilliant sculptor, Le´on Message´, worked initially for Zwiener and subsequently, upon Zwiener's departure for Berlin to work on furniture commissioned by Freidrich Wilhelm II , he was employed in the workshop of Franc¸ois Linke. It appears that Zwiener, unlike Linke, did not sign all his work, although some stamped pieces with his name and/or his "Z" initial are documented. There is some uncertainty between the recorded stamp E. Zwiener and the work of a Julius Zwiener, a Berlin cabinetmaker who made furniture in a very similar style, most notably for the above mentioned Freidrich Wilhelm II. Research suggests however, that the German born Joseph-Emmanuel Zwiener, based in Paris from 1880-1895 and Julius Zwiener, recorded in Berlin after 1895, are probably one and the same. Since the 18th century, it had been a common practice for foreign cabinetmakers to gallicise their names whenever they worked in France. His use of identical mounts as Linke, Zwiener's work is indicative of Le´on Message´ influence on both.
