About the Item
A Louis XIV Style Gilt-Bronze Mounted Mahogany Bureau Plat, By Cueunières, Paris. After the Model by Charles Cressent.
Stamped to underside 'L. CUEUNIERES JNE / ÉBÉNISTE'
The original gilt-embossed tan leather top surround by an oval moulded gilt-bronze edge. This fine bureau plat has the nice distinction of functioning drawers to both sides making it useful as a partners desk or library table. The angled as headed by sculptural gilt-bronze busts of classical maidens and the sides are centred by bacchic masks. The veneers of precious timber of attractive colour. The front right drawer is fitted with a stationary tray.
This fine and large bureau plat is a late nineteenth century variation of a famous model of writing table made by Charles Cressent (1685-1768), marchand-ébéniste and sculpteur. Charles Cressent is indisputably the most representative craftsman of the French Régence period of the 1720s when fashion started to turn to furniture finished with relatively simple wood veneers, but fitted with gilt-bronze mounts of increasingly sculptural quality and splendour.
For writing-tables, Cressent favoured large figural corner mounts of female busts, atlas figures or soldiers. He made at least least five bureaux plat with classical maiden corner mountings, most similarly to the present being one is in the J. Paul Getty Museum (inv. 67.DA.10), previously exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900.
This bureau plat is presented in good original and unrestored condition.
French, Circa 1890.
