About the Item

A sensational French 18th century Louis XV Period kingwood, ormolu and leather Cartonnier, signed Jacques DuBois. This most decorative and extremely elegant Cartonnier is raised by handsome lightly curved legs with fine pierced foliate sabots. The scalloped shaped frieze is centered by a striking floral ormolu mount below a lovely foliate band which also extends along each side. The lower panel is decorated by beautiful inlaid woods in a wonderfully executed pattern with a richly chased pierced central ormolu reserve. At each side are doors, decorated in the same manner, which opens to reveal all their original hardware and one interior shelf. Above is the impressive and beautifully shaped Cartouche with five drawers. Each drawer retains all of the original gold tooled leather façades and ormolu pulls, which flap open. At each corner are exquisite foliate ormolu mounts in a rich satin and burnished finish. Above is the quarter veneered top framed within an ormolu gallery with a Les Oves pattern. Jacques Dubois (1694-1793) was a French master cabinetmaker of the 18th century, born in Pontoise. Dubois was the cabinetmaker of the king and was also commissioned by Princess Louise Elizabeth, the Duchess of Parma, the Duke of Orleans and the nobility of the period. Dubois was one of the masters of the Louis XV style and an expert in varnished veneers at a very high level of quality. Dubois was also known to occasionally create the delicately carved bronzes on his furniture.
