This extremely rare and Important 18th Century Louis XV Red Chinoiserie Bureau de Dame Desk By Pierre Migeon is absolutely breathe taking! If you look at the photos provided you will see the attention to detail within the intricately done hand painted Chinoiserie gold and scarlet lacquered decorations as well as the extremely fine and crisp bronze ormolu mounts. The piece is also signed underneath of the desk. Pierre Migeon (1696-1758) Was one of the most prominent furniture makers of the 18th century and was known for for his impeccable quality as well as his ability to work with a variety of other extremely well known cabinet makers of the 18th C. Throughout his career a few very important people took a liking to his works and commissioned pieces from him such as Madame de pompadour and the Master of the Revels! The piece is equipped with a drop front writing area and 6 drawers and a secret compartment on the inside of the desk as well as two lockable drawers on the outside front of the desk. This piece was at one point a part of the inventory of the Hartman Galleries in New York city until it was purchased in 1971. A very similar blue Lacquered desk by the same maker Pierre Migeon is shown in the 7th photo provided and is in the same form and style with similar chinoiserie decorations and was sold at Christies in 2015 for GPB 254,500 which is equivalent to $381,750 with the currency exchange at the time. The 6th photo shows one of the photos used by Hartman Galleries and was used in one of their catalogs to help showcase the piece at the time. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own an investment grade piece of Louis XV french furniture and is something that has stood the test of time and will last you and your family for many years to come. The piece is in good antique condition with some finish loss and light surface scratches as well as some chipping, flaking and cracking to the finish on a few of the edges and corners which is to be expected with an item over 280 years old.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out and ask.
