About the Item
Our magnificent pair of bibliotheques in the manner of the French master cabinet maker, François-Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter (1770–1841), measure 84 inches tall and are finely crafted with mahogany veneer and extensive and finely cast gilt bronze mounts. Along the top are laurel wreaths above capitals to the pilasters on left and right, Pegasus figures at center above butterflies, classical masks in profile and stars around the sides of the door fronts. The most impressive mounts are the large figures of winged male gods, apparently depicting Ares and Hercules, and the sides, large classical bust medallions surrounded by laurel wreath border and large anthemions above and below. Interior fitted with two shelves.
