826-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 4, 2003 O THE ANTIQUE DETECTIVE Anne Gilbert Rococo Revival Furniture Often Carved Masterpieces For newly rich, mid-century Victorians, when it came to furn ishing their huge homes not only were “bigger and better” but or nate carving was a must. The carvings of animals, flowers and fruit were dimensional sculptures adorning drawers, tops, and arms. When you think of the heavily carved and pierced furniture that defined mid-century cabinetry, the name of John Henry Belter first comes to mind. Rightly so, since he is recognized as the best known American mid-century cabinetmaker. However there were others that are now being recognized for their quality craftsmanship. Among them Alexander Roux, Charles Baudouine, Francois Seignouret, and Prudent Mallard. When they make a rare auction appearance, prices can zoom into high five figures. While the Rococo Revival had been fashionable in Europe in the 1820 s and 1830 s, it didn’t become r————— 1 PUBLIC AUCTION i Thursday, October 9, 2003 ! 9:00 A.M.

The Victorians referred to it as “the antique French style,” because it was the new fashion, as “the modem French style.” However, it had developed a unique look of its own, combining naturalistic floral, fruit and animal carving with pierced and often laminated wood. However, it kept the char acteristic cabriole legs, and S-and C-scrolls from the European ro coco. The wood of choice was rose wood, although walnut was also used. Rosewood not only had a rich color but beautiful graining that took a high polish that appealed to its’ fanciers. In 1853, at the New York Crystal Palace exhibition, Ameri ca got it’s first look at the carved, often towering masterpieces by French cabinetmakers, among them Alexander Roux. Always looking for something new and different, trendy Victo rians were quick to buy monu- mental etagere’s (whatnot shel ving for knick-knacks). A special hit was the tete-a-tete (a love seat made as two chairs, joined and facing in opposite directions). Roux, a Frenchman, opened his cabinet shop in 1846 in New York. By the 1850 s other quality French cabinetmakers immigrat ed to New York. Some moved on to New Orleans.
