Rare and Stunning Empire Mahogany Curved Desk and Bookshelf, 19th Century French

About the Item

This very unusual pairing features a curved desk and a curved bookshelf with a variety of decorative elements on each. It is quite rare to find curved antique items of large furniture such as these. The inside of the desk is decorated with various Empire designs, including patinated bronze d'ore cats modeled after Egyptian felines on account of Napoleon's conquests there. The bookshelf also has design work inspired by Napoleon's life. Including bronze arrows and figures of large women acting as supports on the shelves. The piece is part of the collection from The French Antique Shop, a fourth generation antique store in the heart of the French Quarter of New Orleans. A space that was created and curated at first by Marie and Marcelle and Granet. Their first shop was located in the heart of Paris, and opened in 1919 after they migrated to Paris from Romania post World War I. Shortly after establishing themselves in Paris, as a Jewish family they were forced to flee in the late 1930s before World War II. Marie and Marcel opened up their shop in New Orleans in 1939, the city in which this antique collection has grown and continues to flourish. The store is now run by the third and fourth generation, Marc, Michael, and Brian Friedlander, and is a highly curated space filled with rare antiquities, fine antique lighting, eclectic fixtures, and everything in between. We have imported all the antique items in our collection directly from France.
