Despite the upheavals of the first decades of the nineteenth
century, Paris soon recovered its position as a leading centre for
furniture and design in Europe, a position that was to grow and
strengthen as the century progressed. Encouraged by royal and
imperial regimes, exhibited at the great international fairs, and
collected by international aristocrats, bankers and newly wealthy
industrialists, Paris furniture by the second half of the century
had once again become synonymous with luxury and exquisite
craftsmanship. Furniture makers drew their inspiration from a vast
array of historical periods and cultural sources to create new and
exciting designs that both appealed to the eclectic tastes of the
nineteenth-century amateur and yet suited the demands for comfort
and convenience of the luxury consumer. Building on the generations
of skills and techniques that had characterised French furniture
during the years of the Ancien Regime, contemporary makers
exploited technological advances and new materials to produce some
of the most creative and inventive pieces ever made, often
surpassing the quality achieved by previous generations.
