La sala Cabris

Parigi

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 527

Il rivestimento a pannelli di questa stanza, commissionato per la nuova dimora di Jean-Paul de Clapiers, marchese di Cabris, a Grasse, fu eseguito a Parigi e rappresenta un’autentica espressione dello stile neoclassico. In origine la stanza era dotata di cinque serie di doppie porte e di un numero uguale di specchi, e dava un’impressione fortemente armoniosa grazie all’alternanza di superfici di legno intagliate e dorate e di specchi. Gli angoli arrotondati sono ornati con disegni di strumenti musicali sospesi da fiocchi. I pannelli superiori delle porte sono decorati con incensieri fumanti sostenuti da tripodi, motivo ispirato all’antichità classica. La combinazione di doratura opaca e brunita crea un effetto particolarmente vivace.
