Alfred Emmanuel Louis Beurdeley Corner Cupboards
French, 1847-1919
Alfred Emmanuel Louis Beurdeley was a French cabinetmaker and sculptor who was highly acclaimed for his work in the Louis XIV and Louis XV styles. Beurdeley’s grandfather, Jean Beurdeley, fought in Napoleon’s army. Following his military career, he opened a cabinetmaking business in Paris. A.E. Beurdeley’s father, Louis Beurdeley, taught him the family trade.
In 1875 Beurdeley took over the family business after working beside his father for many years. The Beurdeley family’s fine furnishings had been popular among the elite and wealthy of the time such as Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie. To have a piece of Beurdeley luxury furniture in your home was a symbol of social status and refined taste.
A.E. Beurdeley was celebrated for his craftsmanship. In 1878, he won the gold medal at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, France. In 1893, following the Universal Exhibition in Amsterdam, Netherlands, he was awarded Chevalier de la Légion D’honneur, the highest honor given in France. Between 1894 and 1895, Beurdeley closed his shops in France and retired to his hotel in the Rue de Clichy. He spent the remainder of his life mostly in seclusion.
In his later years, A.E. Beurdeley became a prolific art collector. He was well known for buying and selling large collections of furniture, porcelain sculptures and paintings. In 1905, he acquired an impressive collection of drawings by 18th century artists François Boucher, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Nicolas Lancret and Antoine Watteau. When he died, he left 25,000 francs to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. In 1900, Beurdeley held the largest collection of engravings in Europe. His collections can be seen in the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, the Louvre Museum in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

This pair of corner cabinets was made in Piedmont, Italy, around the middle of the eighteenth century according to the taste of the baroque.

Leon Jallot Pair of Inlaid Amaranth and Nero Portoro Encoignures, c 1925, Signed
By Maurice Jallot, Maurice and Léon Jallot, Léon Jallot
Located in Los Angeles, CA
An incredible and important pair of Art Deco marquetry encoignures (corner cabinets) by famed French Art Deco designer and maker Leon Jallot, circa 1920s Paris, France. We just completed restoration to both cabinets in a gorgeous French Polish which gives incredible depth and vivid detail to the exotic marquetry wood. Both cabinets are signed on the top of the cabinets, underneath the Nero Portoro marble tops.
Each of the bow front corner cabinets feature exotic Amaranth (Violet Wood) veneered doors with dual fluted walnut column front legs and ebonized banded marquetry of stylized birds and leaves. Topped with matching Nero Portoro marble tops, the most expensive marble available, that have exceptional gold and white veining over a deep lustrous black background. The interior is fitted with an exotic Amboyna Burl. The mixture of all of these rare luxurious materials (Nero Portoro, Ebony, Amaranth, Amboyna Burl) provide such an exquisite foundation to these works of art by Leon Jallot.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Considered one of the most sophisticated furniture designers and makers in Paris during the Art Deco period, Leon Jallot's works were included by Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann in the furnishing of his Hotel d'un Collectionneur at the Exposition International des Art Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes held in 1925. As a result of Jallot's combination of rich materials and a carefully edited design sensibility, one of his pieces from the Exposition was purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, leading to inclusion of his work in exclusive exhibitions at the leading American luxury department stores, including Macy's and B. Altman in New York City and Wanamaker's in Philadelphia during the late 1920s. Léon Jallot retired in the 1940s , while his son Maurice Jallot continued the family activity until the 1950s.
MEASUREMENTS:
(overall) H 37" x *W 29" x D 19"
*This piece is shaped as a triangle, the measurement of the rear corner to the front corners is 21"
