Located in London, GB
A Fine Bureau Plat in the Manner of André-Charles Boulle
Constructed in ebony with arabesque foliate cut brass inlays, with premiere-partie panels set with tortoiseshell grounds and brass inlay work, and having extensive fine quality ormolu mounts; rising from animal paw sabots, mounted with female masks at the shoulders; the apron housing three drawers, with faux drawers to the obverse, the central drawers set with a Bacchic mask issuing foliates, the platform of serpentine form, having a brass guard edge, and inset with a gilt tooled morocco leather. Stamped to the carcass ‘BF’ and ‘Gros’.
French, Circa 1870
Denise Ledoux-Lebard’s ‘Le Mobilier Français du XIXe Siecle’.

Stunning Late 19th Century Campaign or Travelers Desk Attr. to Thomas Potter
By Thomas Potter
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique quarter-sawn, two piece oak campaign desk.
This may very well be the most beautiful and interesting campaign desk you will ever be able to acquire. The architectural design, the quality of the materials AND of the make, the combination of the striking colors and its overall look and feel is, in one word, awesome. We cannot think of a single company in existence in the world today who would put such an effort into creating one single and unique piece of furniture. We could have posted 30 images (which is not possible) and you still would not have seen all the fine details and 'gadgets' that make this desk the interesting and marvelous piece that it is.
Especially when displayed in the way it is in image one, it will make everyone want to stop and look at this desk. It simply is difficult not to want to. Used by a high ranked officer, this top of the line desk would have cost a small fortune and it would have been taken from one campaign posting to the next. The chest on top can be fully closed and it has a perfect working lock and key (all original). The perfect brass handles on either side makes the chest easier to carry. Never easy though, because it has got some significant weight to it. Apart from minor bending of the desktop (best seen when closed. . .see image7), an incomplete leather inside in the lid (see image 15) and a cracked, but glued white tile (for which we do not know the purpose. . .image 3), this piece is of museum quality.
The solid, tiger oak bottom half too is as stabile as the day it was made and it is in amazing condition. It comes with a mint drawer (both inside and out) and it too has a perfect working lock with the original key. The extra tier with the gallery of hand turned pillars makes this fine design open and spacious and it too is of wonderful quality and condition.
Some of the finest details are on the inside of the stationary box-like chest. It is the quality in the design, the workmanship, the expensive materials, the attention to detail, the completeness, the execution and, finally, the timeless beauty, that makes us believe that this desk could only have been made by Thomas Potter...

Italian Style Small Bargueño, Tortoiseshell, Bone, Wood, 17th Century
Located in Madrid, ES
Bargueño or litter bin in Italian style. Tortoiseshell, bone, wood. XVII century.
Rectangular litter bin of uncovered sample slightly raised on circular legs, decorated with marquetry of simple geometric motifs on the top and the two sides (where, in addition, there are handles that still maintain part of their gilding), and with a front with three drawers (two smaller upstairs; all with key locks) decorated with pairs of tortoiseshell rectangles enhanced with bands of bone tinted with plant and geometric elements simulating four drawers in total. Note also the metal corner pieces (again, with traces of gilding), finished off with trefoil motifs. Compare, for example, with the litter bin in the National Museum of Decorative Arts from the 17th century, which is similar on both sides (although it has a central chapel); several very similar ones located in private Spanish collections (some called “Carlos II...
