About the Item

Sideboard Attributed to Mario Quarti Italy, circa 1950 This impressive piece of furniture dates from the heyday of post-war Italian design. Its wide, horizontal form is supported by slender, tapered legs that give the solid body an almost floating lightness. The dark walnut surface features a fine grooved pattern that creates an extraordinary sense of depth through the interplay of light and shadow. The top features an original deep green glass panel, providing an elegant contrast to the warm wood tone. The bronze hardware deserves special attention: Their unusual, forked shape lends each of the six cabinet elements a sculptural touch, attesting to a level of design originality that goes far beyond mere craftsmanship. Behind the doors is a thoughtfully organised interior with shaped shelves. This appears to be a commissioned piece with no mass-production characteristics. The piece is, because of the quality of craftsmanship, the precise grooved pattern, the custom-designed bronze fittings and the meticulous interior layout attributed to Mario Quarti. Mario Quarti (1901–1974) grew up in his father Eugenio's studio. Eugenio was one of Italy's most sought-after furniture artists, initially rooted in Art Nouveau and later committed to Art Deco. Mario built on this legacy by combining the workshop’s high level of craftsmanship with a contemporary design language to cater to a growing affluent clientele.

Pair French Empire Mahogany Gilt Consoles Jean-Jacques Werner Palais Eynard 1820

Pair French Empire Mahogany Gilt Consoles Jean-Jacques Werner Palais Eynard 1820

By Jean-Jacques Werner

Located in Epfach, DE

A rare and exceptionally well-documented pair of French Empire console tables, attributed to the celebrated Paris ébéniste Jean-Jacques Werner (Geneva 1791–1853 Paris), originating from the celebrated Palais Eynard in Geneva. Executed in flame mahogany veneered over an oak carcass, each console is fitted with a black marble top above a frieze centered by a finely chased and fire-gilt bronze mount of palmettes, a rosette, and scrolling acanthus foliage. The scrolled legs, headed by gilt-bronze acanthus capitals, terminate in bold lion's-paw feet, while the back is fitted with star-studded gilt-bronze-framed mirror plates — a hallmark of the finest Empire console design. The pair survives in exceptional original, untouched condition. Provenance: Palais Eynard, Geneva Commissioned for the Palais Eynard, built 1817–1821 for the financier and philhellene Jean-Gabriel Eynard (Lyon 1775–1863 Geneva), one of the most celebrated private residences of early 19th-century Geneva. Eynard, who made his fortune as financial advisor to the Queen of Etruria and to Grand Duchess Elisa Bacciocchi (sister of Napoleon), returned to Geneva in 1810 and later attended the Congress of Vienna alongside Charles Pictet-Rochemont. An admirer of Italian palazzo architecture...
