Zusammenfassung

A room with a chandelier and a table, France, free to use, no copyright restrictions image - Picryl description

Riesener was born in Gladbeck, Germany, and trained as a cabinetmaker in Paris. He became one of the most renowned ébénistes of his time, making furniture for the French royal court and aristocracy. Riesener's style was characterised by his use of high quality materials, intricate marquetry and elegant design. He was particularly noted for his use of mahogany, which he often combined with other exotic woods such as ebony and rosewood. Some of Riesener's most famous works include the writing table he made for Marie Antoinette's boudoir at Versailles and the chest of drawers he made for Louis XVI's private apartments. These pieces are now considered some of the finest examples of 18th century French furniture. Despite his success, Riesener's career was not without its challenges. He struggled to maintain his business during the French Revolution and was briefly imprisoned for his association with the royal court. However, he continued to work as a cabinetmaker until his death in 1806. Today, Riesener's furniture is sought after by collectors and museums around the world. His legacy as one of the greatest ébénistes of all time continues to inspire furniture makers and enthusiasts alike.
