About the Item
A 19th Century French Parquetry Bureau Plat or Writing Table in Walnut and Tulipwood.
This finely crafted bureau plat was conceived in the Louis XVI style and is rectilinear in style. Featuring its original maroon leather inset top with tooled edge and some traces of gilding still visible. The top features a simple line of stringing but is otherwise undecorated barring an edge moulding. The drawer fronts, however, are extensively inlaid in the parquetry manner, i.e. with repeating geometric motifs in contrasting woods. The centres of each of the drawer fronts feature chevron patterns inlaid in tulipwood. The drawers all retain their original neoclassical style escutcheon and handle plates. The sides of the piece have more inlaid tulipwood parquetry panels. There are extending slides to both sides. The legs and pilasters are also inlaid with contrasting crossbanded woods, edged with stringing. In form the legs are square sectioned, tapering down to block feet.
The parquetry work is extremely well executed. A very nice table finished at the back to match the front, therefore could be freestanding in a room.

18th Century French Louis XVI Period Parquetry Commode Commode with Marble Top
Located in Gloucestershire, GB
A Fine French Louis XVI Period Parquetry Commode with Unusual Oyster Veneered Decoration.
This fine commode is of typical Louis XVI form with chamfered angles, reflected in the shaping of the original white marble top, but otherwise rectangular in shape. The piece consists of three long drawers with original ormolu escutcheon plates and handles and a key. The commode is decorated entirely in parquetry in a range of woods such as kingwood and what appears to be olive wood or cocus. The top drawer front employs a simple repeating geometric relief but the other drawers, and the sides of the commode, employ panels of oyster veneered timber set in to geometric frames. Oyster veneering, or oystering, involves cutting through small branches or roots creating small oyster shell-like veneers and then inlaying them in decorative panels. The decoration on the this commode is abstract veneers of contrasting shapes, sizes and colours being laid next to each other in a pattern.
