Sèvres Porcelain-Mounted Bureau Plat
Located in New Orleans, LA
Form and function converge in this exceptional Louis XV-style bureau plat graced with eight elegant Sèvres Porcelain plaques. Framing these delightful, hand painted floral and fowl-themed plaques is a network of exquisite gilt bronze. Supporting the leather-topped table are graceful cabriole legs, a hallmark of fine Louis XV taste, that are crowned by gilt bronze caryatids and terminate in gilt bronze mounts. What makes this desk even more stunning is the inclusion of three concealed drawers that are opened only by the spring-loaded secret release mechanisms located underneath.
The first porcelain mounted furnishings appeared sometime in the mid-18th century in the shops of the foremost Parisian art dealers. These furnishings successfully, and quite beautifully, married renowned Sèvres Porcelain with fine furniture to create a new segment of the decorative arts that appealed greatly to the aristocracy, especially women. The Duchesse de Mazarin, Comtesse du Barry, Marie-Antoinette and the Grand Duchess Maria...

Victorian Gilt-Bronze and Jasper-Ware Mounted Writing Table, circa 1860
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
A Victorian gilt-bronze and Jasper-Ware mounted writing table.
English, circa 1860.
This fine bureau plat or side table has a leather top with a Greek key gilt border above a shaped apron to the front mounted with Wedgwood style jasper-ware roundels. There is a drawer to each end mounted with rectangular jasper-ware panels and the reverse of the desk left plain and veneered. The table is raised on cabriole legs terminating in castors.
This elegant gilt-bronze and Jasper-Ware mounted writing table has two side panels and three central plaques depicting putti at play. Two plaques illustrate Cupid, who is identifiable by his bow and quiver of arrows (loading his bow with an arrow in the left plaque as he stands upon three steps, and stringing his bow in the right plaque). Between these two compositions is depicted Erato, the muse of lyrical and love poetry, playing a lyre accompanied by Eros.
Each side panel represents a parade of putti enjoying leisurely pursuits: one side with an allegory of the hunt, and the other the liberal arts. The hunting party depicts eleven putti with the accoutrements of the hunt: from the left, one plays a lyre as two others take notes; three carry the head of a boar; two carry the head of a stag accompanied by a hound; and three at the front of the procession carry a spear and trumpets, accompanied by a hound and bird of prey. The other panel illustrates another eleven putti with various objects associated with leisure and the liberal arts. From left to right: two figures play musical instruments (a lyre and a trumpet); three consider an astrological globe...
