About the Item

A Rare Charles-Guillaume Diehl 19th Century French Satinwood and Mahogany DressingTable It is truly magnificent to discover an original Charles-Guillaume Diehl without the varied ostentation and decorative ornamentation. That is what sets this particular piece apart from the rest of his collection. Subtle beauty and fine craftsmanship stand alone for themselves and are detailed by the parquetry inlay and gilt metal mounts. The hinged lid holds an integral mirror with a birdseye maple-lined fitted interior that would show lovely ladies in waiting, examining their visage as they prepared for the day or practiced their hem work. There is a single drawer raised on faceted slender tapering supports and classical lines. The piece is signed by Charles-Guillaume Diehl himself. Charles-Guillaume Diehl was born in Germany in 1811 and moved to Paris in 1840. It was there that he crafted his famous pieces of art until he died in 1885. His trade in cabinet making and fancy goods flourished. Diehl participated in all major international exhibitions during the middle of the nineteenth century, starting with the Great Exhibition in 1851, and was frequently awarded. In his prime popularity, he employed more than 600 workers designing and producing his highly demanded artwork. The luxury furniture was often found in rare collections of noblemen and women across Europe. The Parisian influence in this piece is apparent in the cultured lines and carefully selected woods. 62 cm wide x 75 cm high. ------------------------------ Condition Report: In good condition and well cared for with only some fading commensurate with ageing.
