About the Item

This exceptional French ebonized cabinet is finely mounted with gilt bronze and features a central hand-painted porcelain plaque attributed to Victor Roulin, one of the most skilled porcelain painters of the 19th century. The cabinet exemplifies the refined artistry of the late 19th century, where ebonized wood, ormolu mounts, and porcelain artistry merged to create pieces of both decorative and functional value. The porcelain plaque depicts a finely detailed neoclassical pastoral scene, framed with an ornate gilt bronze wreath and scrolling foliate mounts. The cabinet itself is richly adorned with gilded appliqués, intricate bronze mounts, and architectural lines that highlight its Parisian origin and quality craftsmanship. The mirrored lower section reflects light and depth, adding elegance and dimension to its design. This piece is not merely a cabinet, but a work of art blending furniture-making and porcelain painting, highly sought after by collectors of French decorative arts, 19th-century cabinets, and Sevres-style porcelain furniture mounts. Biography of Victor Roulin Victor Raroulin (active mid- to late-19th century) was a renowned French porcelain painter associated with the great porcelain manufactories of Paris, most notably Sèvres. His works are distinguished by their finely executed mythological, allegorical, and pastoral scenes, often rendered with a painterly realism and a vibrant palette. Roulin frequently collaborated with Parisian ébénistes (cabinetmakers), providing porcelain plaques and panels that were incorporated into luxury furniture, clocks, and objets d’art. Collectors admired his ability to merge classical subject matter with Rococo-inspired romanticism, making his work a favorite of the 19th-century elite. His porcelain plaques often depict goddesses, cherubs, and idyllic landscapes, framed within ornate ormolu-mounted furniture pieces. Today, works attributed to Roulin remain highly desirable at international auctions, prized for their artistic quality, rarity, and connection to the Sèvres tradition. This ebonized bronze-mounted cabinet with a porcelain plaque attributed to Victor Roulin stands as an important example of the fusion of fine art and decorative arts in 19th-century France, appealing to serious collectors and connoisseurs of museum-quality French furniture.
