PIERRE LOTTIER (France, 1916 - Santa Susana, Spain, 1987). Display cabinet, 1950s. Hand painted wood, Signed by the designer, with initials. It has a key. It has interior light. Presents marks of use and wear, some lack of polychrome. Measurements: 201 x 121 x 39 cm. Furniture-vitrine painted in lime green with chinoiserie motifs in gilt decorating the two front doors and the flanks: lake scenes with pagodas, lush gardens with Asian characters, flowery bouquets running along the shelves. The use of chinoiserie was a hallmark of the furniture of Pierre Lottier, the designer of this showcase. The upper part (the display cabinet) consists of three shelves protected by glass. The lower cabinet also has shelves. Pierre Lottier was a prominent furniture designer and decorator born in France but based in Barcelona, active from the post-war period. Already in the sixties and seventies he had an important workshop, where important cabinetmakers of the new generation were trained. Lottier was mainly dedicated to the decoration of important houses in the Catalan capital, although he also designed others outside the city, such as Ava Gardner's house in Madrid. Born into a family of artists (his father was the famous restaurateur and namesake Pierre Lottier who founded in 1880 "La Reserve" on the Côte d'Azur, one of the high society establishments most valued by millionaires and aristocrats), Pierre Lottier settled in Madrid in the 1930s, set apart by French society. He came into contact with the Spanish elite of the time as a procurer of important works of art, especially porcelain and oriental bronzes. In the 1950s he settled between Madrid and Barcelona. He collaborated with important design houses such as Casa Valentí or Casa Gancedo for the most historical fabrics. Pierre Lottier began emulating the career of Marc du Plantier and the famous Maison Jansen in Paris. His beginnings were based on the purity of the French "Grand Gout", mainly centered on Louis XV and XVI styles. Later, in the 1950's, it drifted to the English styles typical of the late 18th century: Hepplewhite, Adam, Chippendale, Sheraton or Gillwood were the surnames with which Lottier was most inspired. Towards 1970 the style drifted into a more modern wake. His new designs were based on Art Deco and classical rationalism, typical of a new, more intellectual society.

Based on a model by Guillaume BENEMAN and Benjamin STOCKEL designed for Queen Marie-Antoinette and kept at the Château de Fontainebleau. Mahogany chest of drawers opening with two leaves revealing six drawers on two rows and three drawers in the waist. The front, divided by an arc of a circle, and the sides are adorned with a rich and beautiful ornamentation of finely chased and gilded bronzes such as foliage scrolls, friezes of oves and arrows, lion's heads and medallions in the center of each panel depicting the childhood of Bacchus after CLODION, framing rods and fluting. Veined marble top (restorations notably to the marble, insolation, accidents, missing pieces). Louis XVI style, late 19th - early 20th century. Height 95 cm - Width : 180 cm - Depth : 72,5 cm. This lot is presented by Mr. Cédric Henon. Note : Our commode is a remake of the commode delivered by the Garde Meuble de la Couronne in 1786 for Queen Marie-Antoinette's last stay in Fontainebleau. It was installed in the queen's salon des jeux. Guillaume BENEMAN (1750-1811) was a cabinetmaker originally from Germany, who set up in the Faubourg Saint Antoine as a free worker and was subsequently awarded the title of Master on September 3, 1785. He replaced Jean-Henri RIESENER (1734-1806), whose furniture was becoming too costly for the Crown. Under the direction of sculptor Jean HAURE, grand maître des programmes du Mobilier Royal, he created this commode after a model by Joseph STOCKEL (1743-1802). The bronzes were gilded by FEUCHERE. The porcelain medallions on the original model have been replaced by gilded bronze medallions on our commode. It can still be seen at the Château de Fontainebleau, under inventory number OA 5302.
