LOUIS XVI-STYLE GILTWOOD TRIPOD PEDESTAL, SIGNED A. HUGNET, PARIS, FRANCE Raised on three sweeping cabriole legs, this exquisite giltwood pedestal embodies the refinement of the French neoclassical revival. Cascading acanthus leaves and crossed laurel ribbons adorn each support, joined by delicate carved garlands beneath a beaded circular top and a frieze of oak leaves. The tripartite plinth grounds the composition with quiet authority. Bearing the original label of A. Hugnet, Ameublements de Style, 69 Faubourg Saint-Antoine, the piece springs from the celebrated Parisian quarter of master cabinetmakers, long renowned for its Louis XVI-inspired furnishings. Its warm, time-honoured gilded patina lends a distinguished presence to any salon, gallery or grand entrance hall.
