About the Item

This is a mesmerizingly beautiful piece of art, masquerading as a piece of fine furniture. We purchased this piece from a reluctant seller who was moving from 5th avenue in New York City to Palm Beach and didn't want to sell it but had no space for it in her new home. The piece is in very, very good condition with minimal signs of age and use and the bronze dore' is in gorgeous condition for its age. The piece was made by the prestigious firm Charles Bernel of Paris and is signed in back. The piece is absolutely beautiful with the finest possible casting quality and finish. This is a masterpiece, and you'll see few others that compete with it for value or appeal. Dates to the 1890s era. The Measures 72.75 tall x 64.5 wide x 17.75 deep. Charles Bernel was a renowned French Ébéniste in the late 19th century. Bernel was one of a few highly skilled cabinetmakers producing furniture in the manner of earlier styles. Among his high caliber contemporaries were Paul Somani, Henry Dasson and Francois Linke, who are all noted for their high-quality creations. Among Bernel’s esteemed clientele was H.M. Queen Mary, who owned a gilt bronze mounted fire screen that was placed in her Audience room at Buckingham Palace, London. King Christian X and Queen Alexandrine of Denmark also had one presented to them during a visit to Paris.
