A Pair of Napoléon III Gilt-Bronze, Chinese Lacquer And Ebonised Side Cabinets
By Charles-Guillaume Winckelsen, Paris.

Signed ‘Chles WINCKELSEN 21 Rue St Louis’, Paris.

Each with a top of the finest brocatelle jaune d’Espagne marble above a brass-inlaid frieze. The front edge of the top stepped forward above two protruding central doors and flanked by recessed doors. Each door with stiff-leaf cast gilt-bronze frame enclosing a lacquer panel richly embossed is golden yellow hues against a black ground and depicting architectural pagoda scenes peopled with courtly figures and palace attendants. The interior fitted with two shelves. One cabinet later fitted with four drawers. The brass inlaid apron with central winged mask mount. Raised on six toupie feet.

Paper label to reverse:

‘Eigentum des Grafen Anton und der Grafinnen Karoline und Adelheid Lanckoronski mit allem, was darim ist und darauf steht’  [Property of Count Anton and Countesses Karoline and Adelheid Lanckoronski]

France, Circa 1865.

These magnificent side cabinets with panelled doors of Japanese black and yellow lacquer, are by Charles Winckelsen, a pre-eminent cabinetmaker from the Napoléon III period who is famed for his high quality production. These magnificent cabinets rank amongst his most opulent creations, being made to the finest standard, with gilt-bronze mountings and displaying unusually large and rare Japanese export lacquered panels. Winckelsen’s furniture was the preserve of the very wealthy and accordingly these cabinets have a most illustrious provenance.

The Lanckoroński family have played a leading role in Polish history and cultural life for at least seven centuries. Following the partition of Poland the Lanckoroński family kept close ties with the Viennese court.

Count Karol Lanckoroński was born in Vienna but spent his childhood in Paris before returning to study at the university of Vienne where in 1870 he received his doctorate in law. From the mid-1880s Count Lanckoroński devoted himself to studying the humanities and arts. The Lanckoroński Collection was one of the richest private galleries in Europe: in Vienna only the Liechtenstein and Harrach Collections could compare with it. Most of the art treasures in the the Lanckoroński collection had been purchased by Count Karol himself, however some 30 paintings he inherited including two magnificent paintings by Rembrandt, came from the gallery of Stanislas Augustus Poniatowski, the King of Poland. From the mid-1880s the collection was housed in the Lanckoroński Palace, Vienna, Jacquingasse 18.

With the outbreak of World War II the Lanckoroński Palace and its fabled art collection was confiscated by Nazi Germany. Many of its art treasures remained in Austria but some were destroyed in storage. The Lanckoroński Palace was bombed in 1945 and looted in the aftermath of the war, ultimately abandoned and demolished in the 1960s. The most valuable pieces were removed to Switzerland after the war and numerous masterpieces were sold mostly in the 1950s. It is not known when the present cabinets left the Lanckoroński collection before being sold in Paris in 1969.

تشارلز غيوم وينكلسن

يعد أتيليه تشارلز غيوم وينكلسن أحد الأسرار غير المكتشفة في فترة معرض الإمبراطورية الثانية. تأسست في 23 Val-Sainte-Catherine ، باريس في عام 1854 ، وازدهرت حتى وفاته في عام 1871. ونتيجة لمسيرته المهنية القصيرة نسبيا، لا يتوفر سوى القليل جدا من أعماله اليوم.

ولد وينكلسن في عام 1817 ، في الفجر الجديد لأسرة بوربون ، وتوفي في عام 1871 أثناء تشكيل الجمهورية الثالثة. وهكذا كانت فلسفته الكاملة في التصميم ، إلى جانب معاصريه ، واحدة من الحفاظ على شعارات النظام القديم. في إعادة استخدام الزخارف من القرن الثامن عشر ، فضل وينكلسن أسلوب لويس السادس عشر دون العودة إلى الباستيش البسيط.

كان صب وينكلسن البرونزي من أعلى مستويات الجودة ، بسهولة على مستوى مع Thomiere الشهير في السنوات الأولى من القرن. أعاد إنشاء جميع قوالبه ، ولم يعد أبدا استخدام النماذج الحالية أو نسخها ببساطة.

تم بيع أعماله من قبل أرملته في يوليو 1871 إلى هنري داسون الشهير ، الذي تمكن بالتالي من استخدام المجموعة الرائعة من الأنماط الرئيسية التي بناها وينكلسن بشكل كبير.
