Catalogue Note
Joseph Stöckel, reçu maître en 1775
Etabli à Paris depuis 1769, Stöckel est un des grands ébénistes de la fin du règne de Louis XVI. Son style est architectural, ponctué de formes puissantes et de volumes rigoureux, comme l’illustre parfaitement notre console. Sa renommée était importante comme le montre sa liste de clients prestigieux dont le Comte de Provence, frère du roi et futur Louis XVIII. La qualité d’exécution de l’ébénisterie ainsi que la finesse de ciselure de ses bronzes doré le place au même niveau que Guillaume Benneman avec qui il collabora régulièrement pour des livraisons au Garde Meuble de la Couronne.
