Pierre-Antoine Bellangé

Bellangé held an eminent position among the representatives of the decorative arts at the beginning of the nineteenth century.

Bellangé was designated several times as arbitrator or expert in trials brought before the tribunal of commerce.

Suites of furniture by Bellangé were provided for many European courts including the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark.

His highest style court furniture was built of gilded beech and upholstered in silk lampas fabrics in saturated colors, often with a gold jacquard pattern of medallions, eagles, or the arms of the court or family the piece was manufactured for.

[1] He also produced furniture for Napoleon at Saint-Cloud, for the Tuileries, Joséphine's Château de Malmaison, and also for his brother Joseph Bonaparte.
