EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pair of Louis XIV plinths, crafted between 1700-15 by the renowned artist Andre Charles Boulle. Made from oak adorned with copper, pewter, tortoiseshell, and gilded bronze, these plinths stand at an impressive height of 129 centimeters. The intricate details on these plinths are truly remarkable. Each column is embellished with decorative grooves and drops of caps applied to a ring with quartefeuille. The top is elegantly girdled with a frieze of foliage while the console sides feature lions muzzles surmounting a large acanthus leaf. A sequence of decreasing caps emerges from this leaf, creating a visually striking effect. The base itself is adorned with alternating foliage motifs and has a rounded central projection resting on a counter-pedestal of the same shape. Although some uprisings and lack of marquetry can be observed due to age, it only adds to the charm and authenticity of these exquisite pieces. These ornate plinths would make for exceptional decorative additions in any space. Their rich history and meticulous craftsmanship are evident in every detail. Whether displayed individually or as pairs, they exude elegance and sophistication that will undoubtedly enhance any interior design concept. This photograph captures not just wooden furnishings but also artistry at its finest – showcasing the mastery behind Louis XIV-era decoration through Boulle's skillful hands.
