O salão Cabris

ca. 1774, with later additions
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 527
Os painéis de madeira da sala, que foram encomendados para a nova residência de Jean-Paul de Clapiers, marquês de Cabris, em Grasse, foram feitos em Paris e são uma expressão autêntica do estilo neoclássico. Originalmente, a sala foi equipada com cinco pares de portas duplas e igual número de espelhos; a alternância do carvalho entalhado e dourado com as superfícies reflexivas dos espelhos produziu uma bela harmonia. Os cantos arredondados são adornados com desenhos de instrumentos musicais pendurados em fitas atadas em laços. Incensários fumegantes apoiados por tripés, um motivo derivado da antiguidade clássica, embelezam os painéis superiores das portas. A combinação de dourado fosco e polido cria um efeito especialmente animado.
