An Extremely Fine Quality Ormolu-Mounted Amaranth, Kingwood and Satine Trellis-Parquetry Grand Piano circa 1885-90 Movement by Erard, serial number 68250
the lid inlaid with a trellis pattern parquetry and set with an acanthus-cast molded border lifting to reveal a burr maple veneered interior and movement inscribed Par Brevet d'invention, Seb & Pre Erard 13 & 21, rue du Mail, Paris and stenciled 68250 and with a further stamp PINEL, with ebony keyboard beneath a brass cursive inscription Erard, the case embellished with mounts allegorical of the Triumph of Peace. The lyre shaped pedal stamped 68250, on tapering legs with floral garlands and castors.
Catalog Notes: With a serial number corresponding with the Parisian workshop's records between 1876 and 1895, the case of the present piano could strongly be attributed to the celebrated ébéniste and bronzier Henry Dasson (d. 1896). The quality and design of the cabinetry and, moreover, the exquisitely rendered fine gilt-bronze mounts decorating the case of this piano, strongly suggest his work. The attribution is strengthened further by the existence of other Erard pianos with cases signed by Dasson and with similar mounts allegorical of the Triumph of Peace.
Sébastien Erard was born in Strasburg in 1752, and established his workshop at 45-47 rue la Boétie in 1777. Following Sebastien's death in 1831, the workshops were taken over by his nephew Pierre Erard who supplied pianos for the most renowned musicians.

Exceptional Singerie-Themed Rosewood Commode by Zwiener
By Joseph-Emmanuel Zwiener
Located in New York, NY
Maker: Attributed to Joseph-Emmanuel Zwiener
Date: Late 19th Century
Dimension: 39(H) x 62(W) x 24(D) inches
Inspired by Charles Cressent, this darling rosewood commode showcases the increasingly favored theme of hilarious monkey antics. Named "commode aux enfants balançant un singe," the style is beloved by many. One is showcased in the Rothschild Collection at Waddesdon Manor, and another located within the Linsky Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; two reside in the Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon, and another is part of the collection at the Louvre.
Singerie — from the French for "Monkey Trick" — is a genre of art in which monkeys are depicted apeing human behaviour. Adorned with cast gilt bronze, the commode features a delightful scene on its front and sides where two children playfully swing a monkey on a rope amidst a lavish display of cast acanthus leaves. The central monkey ornament...
