Ceremonial Table Marquetry André Boulle - Violin Shape - Period: XIXth

About the Item

Table of violin form, with structure in blackened pear tree, almost completely covered with a marquetry 'Boulle'.  This technique, which consists of a superposition of Red Tortoiseshells and Chiselled Brass, allows to obtain these Arabesques, Rinceaux and Volutes of a Great Finesse. The curves and counter-curves of the top are underlined by a large brass rod shaped into foliage. The moving belt, following the lines of the top, opens in front of a drawer assembled in dovetails.  This last one is equipped with a working lock and the piece of furniture is provided with its key with cut head.  In addition to the marquetry of André Boulle, framed by brass rods, the four sides of this table are also embellished in their centers of four masks in bonze. The set rests on four generously curved legs, embellished with Espagnolettes with soft faces in the upper part, Sabots in the lower part, and Filets d'arêtes joining them. Period : XIXth - Napoleon III Dimensions : Height : 76cm x Length : 148cm x Width : 77cm This 'Boulle' table will conquer the amateurs of chic, refined furniture. It has benefited from a meticulous restoration in the rules of art in our workshops and is entirely varnished with a stamp.

  • Boulle Work Table - Stamped: L.gradé & Pelcot - Period: XIXth
    Located in CRÉTEIL, FR
    In the 19th century, under the reign of Napoleon III (1852/1870) in particular, marquetry was rediscovered. We copy the styles of previous centuries; so we make a lot of Boulle style furniture. The richness and the quality of the materials are the same but the execution benefits from technical progress: the quality of the furniture of the end of the XIX is superior to that of their ancestors. Here is a rare work table in gilded brass marquetry on a blackened and lacquered pear tree background. Its lively scalloped top, surrounded by an ingot mold, is adorned with a cartouche opening onto a rosewood interior with a vanity mirror and a belt drawer. In the lower part, a hopper drawer remains invisible below. Its feet are curved with ornamentation in chiseled and gilded bronze. Period: Second half of the 19th century. Dimensions: H: 72 x W: 63 x D: 43cm. Stamped: L.Gradé & Pelcot, A work table, also called a worker, it is a small light table whose top is surrounded by a high border to prevent falling objects. The work table or worker is a small table that can be recognized by its removable flat or rounded top containing storage. This table with or without crotch shelf sometimes has a sliding book box under the belt. Louis Gradé...
