About the Item
Bureau or desk. Rosewood, wood, metal. Jeanselme Fils Godin et Cie, Paris, France, 19th century.
Stamped (signed).
Cover sample desk designed perhaps to go near a wall that has two drawers at the top and three under the sample (the left are two; on the right is one with a compartment with a key, although in external appearance it seems two to balance the composition of the furniture). When you open the lid, a space for writing with compartments towards the bottom of the furniture is shown. To the outside, it has a delicate marquetry work in which the rosewood wood stands out, and sizes centered only in certain areas (top auction, drawers, legs with a light cabriolet shape ...) to enhance the elegance of the furniture and the quality of the wood used in its finishing.
The cabinetmaker's signature can be seen in areas that are not easily visible: "JEANSELME FILS GODIN ET CIE / EBENISTERIE, SIEGES ET TAPISSERIE / RUE DU HARLAY 7 & 9, AU MARAIS". Although this brand is part of the outstanding Jeanselme family (fl. 1824-1930), this particular brand was used in furniture between 1863 and 1871 according to some experts, after being founded by Charles-Joseph-Marie Jeanselme in Paris in 1824 ( Auguste Godin took the direction of it in 1871; after his retirement, the firm was known as A. Godin et Cie until 1883; when Godin died, the business continued with the son of the founder, Charles-Henri Jeanselme with the name of Ch Jeanselme et Cie until 1930). By the middle of the 19th century, the Jeanselme firm was one of the most recognizable in Paris. Thus, it is possible to find important examples associated with this name in the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, in prominent residences and private collections, etc."
