French Louis XV Style Bureau Plat
About the Item
This fine piece dates from the third quarter of the 19th century and has many of the characteristics of a period piece, although made later. The mahogany is exceptionally well-chosen, the bronze mounts are of high quality and well modelled. The desk has a gilt tooled red leather surface, and matching slides on both sides. (Unusually it has drawers on both sides too.) It is raised on shapely cabriole legs retaining their original sabots. It is an ideal size for both decorative appeal and usefulness. It is offered in excellent condition, a light polishing was all that was necessary.

- Louis XV Style Kingwood Bureau de Dame by Alphonse Giroux et CieBy Alphonse Giroux et CieLocated in Montreal, QCThis parquetry desk has the attributes one would expect when bearing the name to one of Paris leading retailers of objet deluxe. It is bombe...gently swelling and raised on cabriole legs. It is applied with oval porcelain panels which we have not dismounted but are to Sevres standard. It extensively mounted with bronze chutes sabots and moldings of various sorts. Including a bronze pierced plaque with the monogram of the owner. It is in a small way, highly evocative of 19th century Paris at its best. This company flourished between the consulate and 1867 when it closed. It enjoyed Royal patronage and was certainly a leading supplier of luxury goods of the highest quality. Maison Giroux, the famous curiosity and luxury goods shop, was situated at No. 7 rue du Coq-Saint-Honoré and in business from the time of the Consulate until the end of the Second Empire. The business was founded in 1799 by Francis Simon Alphonse Giroux, cabinetmaker and official restorer of Notre Dame. “Maison Alphonse Giroux” also known as “Giroux & Cie” specialized in producing ornate objects d’art and technically sophisticated furniture.
