Salón Cabris

París

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 527

Comisionados para la nueva residencia de Jean-Paul de Clapiers, marqués de Cabris, en Grasse, estos paneles de madera realizados en París son la más pura expresión del estilo neoclásico. Originalmente, el salón tenía cinco pares de puertas dobles e igual número de espejos; la alternancia del roble tallado y dorado con las superficies reflejantes de los espejos producía una bella armonía. En las esquinas curvadas aparecen trofeos de instrumentos musicales suspendidos de cintas y lazos. Incensarios humeantes sobre trípodes, un motivo derivado de la antigüedad clásica, embellecen los paneles superiores de las puertas. La combinación de doraduras opacas y bruñidas crea un efecto particularmente animado.
