The atelier of Charles-Guillaume Winckelsen is one of the undiscovered secrets of the Second Empire exhibition period. Born in 1817, at the new dawn of the Bourbon dynasty, Winckelsen died in 1871 as the Third republic was being formed. Thus his whole philosophy of design, alongside his contemporaries, was one of maintaining the emblems of the ancien regime, a fashion attributed to the de Goncourt brothers, their writings and collections. In re-using motifs from the eighteenth century Winckelsen favoured the Louis XVI style without reverting to simple pastiche , however at no time did he ever attempt to copy or re-use moulds of an earlier period.
