Pair of French Boulle Side Cabinets

About the Item

This sumptuous pair of salon cabinets are what the French call meubles d'appui. Each is enclosed by a single glazed door and with canted sides. They are partie and contrepartie; that is to say that one is veneered in scarlet with bone marquetry whilst the other is veneered in bone with scarlet marquetry. The cut-out stencil of one thus forms the basis of the other. The frieze is set with pierced bronze panels, bone roundels and brackets: the base is veneered in scarlet and raised on ebonized and bronze claw and ball feet. This pair is remarkable for its quality and condition. This is cabinetry of a high order. The ebonized tops are later and could be replaced with marble if desired. This exotic furniture was made in the 1880s when it was fashionable as it is again today.
