Imperial Falling in Love Mantel Clock & Candelabras - Malachite

Louis Philippe Napoleon III Clocks

This Gothic influence becomes particularly remarkable with both the consecration of Charles X and the baptism of the Duke of Bordeaux in 1824. In this occasion, the Architect Hittorf discovered Notre Dame de Paris with some parts belonging to the end of the 16th century. Furniture-makers immediately adopt the Gothic style.

1839 marks the triumph of Middle Age in the pavilion of the exhibition devoted to jeweler's art. Chevanard (1787-1884), Viollet Le Duc (1814-1879), Lassus (1807-1857) tried their best to reconcile the Gothic requirements with the British comfort, which was greatly appreciated by the middle classes. In this period the search for antiques has begun. The "Cathedral-like" decorations are successful everywhere. One could see nothing but pointed arches, rosettes and spires.

This romantic period ends in 1836. Enlarged bends and the ornamental motifs become superabundant. At Paris’ Universal Exhibition in 1855, a revival of the Louis XVI styles are registered. Ten years after, around 1865, the new Pompeian style appears but it is not in fashion for a long time.

The Empress, particularly, leans to the Louis XVI style and the Louis XVI – Empress Style are in fashion in the elegant interiors.
