M&N Uzal Gallery, 19th Century furniture expert

The 19th Century furniture is not limited to the Louis XV and the Louis XVI styles. There has been many creations at this period and not only copies of the past Centuries. The M&N Uzal Gallery based in France and Belgium is specialized in such creations.

The Parisian gallery's manager reminds us that the major private and public collections are mostly focused on these creations rather than Louis XV and Louis XVI copies, because these are totally new shapes, designs, techniques... "the 19th Century has rediscovered techniques such as the enamel which was totally forgiven before this Century makes its come back in 1830". Same for aluminium that is used for the first time in 1860, and is considered as the high-tech of this period as it was more expensive than gold.

The 19th Century is clearly the base that modern designers used for their creations with the notion of art and industry. "This specialty is very rich, still unknown and should soon come on top of the market because there are still many masterpieces to discover or to rediscover", says M&N Uzal Gallery.

• Mark Sultan Antique Dealer (2010-11-15) Report to moderator as J Mac says, the real "creations" for French 19th Century furniture & works of art is very little compared to the Louis 15 and Louis 16 style furniture. So I don't believe these creations will soon come on top of the market, since there isn't enough supply to feed the market. But sure thing, these creations are very safe values to invest on. as J Mac says, the real "creations" for French 19th Century furniture & works of art is very little compared to the Louis 15 and Louis 16 style furniture.

• J.Mac (2010-11-15) Report to moderator La galerie Uzal parle là d'un épiphénomène dans l'Histoire du meuble français du 19e siècle. Il suffit de voir les ventes aux enchères, 99% des meubles et objets d'art de ce siècle sont des copies de meubles du Louis XIV à l'Empire. Le petit guéridon de style Louis XV ou la chaise dossier lyre de style Louis XVI sont les Ikea de l'époque: avec la mécanisation, les créations en séries et l'emploi de matériaux communs (voir d'imitations en résine!), on perd les notions d'artisanat, d'œuvres uniques et d'essences prestigieuses. Alors oui il y a quelques créations qui s'inspirent de l'Extrême Orient, mais on parle là de prix inabordables, uniquement à la portée des musées ou quelques collectionneurs privés.
