Alexandre Maigret:
During the Empire, Maigret established himself as an important supplier to the Garde-Meuble . He created an ébénisterie workshop, where he created many objects to furnish the Imperial Palaces. For the next thirty years he supplied furniture for various Imperial households . The British Royal Collection also has an example of his work .
The chest is rather handsome and presents very well .
Description: The Crotch Mahogany veneer figure is a result of the slicing of the portion of a mature Mahogany tree, at the point which the first primary branches evolve from the main trunk. As the branches grow out and up, the growth rings of the tree split to create this unique figure. The most rare and intricate of mahogany veneers .
Restauration (Restoration )1815-1835
After fifteen years of ringing fanfares from one end of Europe to the other, the Napoleonic adventure ended on the plain of Waterloo, France. The Restoration was a reaction against the gaudy spectacle and monumental pomp of the Empire. It fostered an elegance, refinement and subtlety that had been obscured by Napoleonic tastes.

Circa 1820 French Restauration Commode in Flame Mahogany, Gilt Bronze Hardware
Located in Dallas, TX
Topped by a one-inch thick marble top, this commode has a beautiful mahogany veneer with flame graining and foliate and floral gilt bronze hardware. Hand-carved in France, circa 1820, the stunning chest of drawers is from the Restauration period, which is the transitional era of French history following the first defeat of Napoleon.
The gray marble top with white and black veining has a subtle embellishment often seen during the Restauration: rounded front corners. Directly underneath is a drawer with flared tulip molding (molding of Restauration furniture is almost always thin and delicate), with an elaborate rinceaux mount, adorned with a shell, palmettes, and a supple floral swag drop handle. The drawer is segmented into four compartments, allowing the storage of smaller items. Three tiers of taller drawers form the main body, each embellished with a volute leaf keyplate flanked by a pair of swag drop pulls. The apron is also adorned with a lovely bronze mount of a foliate margent with a center rosette that spans between a pair of half-bun feet in the front (the two back feet are blocked). A beautiful example of Restauration period furniture...
