拍品描述
A REGENCE ORMOLU-MOUNTED AMARANTH AND TULIPWOOD BUREAU PLAT CIRCA 1725 The rectangular gilt-tooled red leather-lined top with moulded and reeded borders above a recessed central drawer flanked by gadroons and acanthus, flanked on either side by a rounded drawer, each mounted with satyr mask escutcheons and rocaille drop handles issuing from foliate rosettes, the reverse with simulated drawers, the shaped sides centred by espagnolette masks, on cabriole legs headed by bearded masks and terminating in foliate scrolling sabots 30 ? in. (78 cm.) high; 77 ? in. (197 cm.) wide; 36 ? in. (93.5 cm.) deep This superb and grand bureau plat conceived during the late Régence period circa 1725 is reminiscent to a series of celebrated bureau plats with innovative bold sinuous shaped friezes on cabriole legs developed in the workshop of André-Charles Boulle (1642-1732) around 1715-20. The present belongs to a small group of desks probably produced by a same unknown although highly skilled cabinetmaker such as No?l Gérard (d.1732) or Etienne Doirat (d.1736), including the desk from the collection of the naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc de Buffon (1707-1788), sold at Sotheby’s, Paris, 9 April 2008, lot 84. The Buffon desk, although of almost identical shape, has straight drawers whereas the drawers on the present desk are matching the curves of the frieze, indicating a slightly later production. Other important desks from this group are recorded such as the desk sold anonymously at Christie’s, London 2 December 1976, lot 76 and at Ader, Palais Galliéra, Paris, 9 June 1972, lot 141. The rich mounts visible on the present desk are also reminiscent of the oeuvre of André-Charles Boulle, with female masks surmounted by palmettes to the sides and satyr figural escutcheons deriving from those produced by the celebrated ébéniste. The large faun’s masks chutes are more unusual and appear on a Régence commode sold from the collection of the Duke of Westminster at Christie’s, London, 5 July 2007, lot 38.
