French Louis XVI Style Breakfront Vitrine in Violet Wood and Parquetry
About the Item
This superb vitrine was made in the Belle Epoque by a Parisian ebeniste of the greatest skill who has sadly not left us his name. The violet wood and parquetry case is enclosed by a single glazed door. The finely cast mounts are silvered bronze, which is rather unusual, and depict in a broad band: putti, goats, fruiting vines and acanthus, in the manner of Clodion. The central slivered bronze oval plaque depicts Cupid at the Forge. It is raised on elegant toupie feet. This splendid vitrine is finished by a well chosen marble slab.
This vitrine exudes excellence. The silvered mounts are of a quality equal to those found on Linke furniture and I suspect came from the same source, the glazed sides and front are all beveled. The light enters on three sides, so the contents can be clearly seen. The back is upholstered in pale green watered silk. The care and skill which has been used throughout is remarkable Look carefully at the photos and then compare to Linke's work. You will see that our statements about this piece are well-founded.
