拍品描述: BY JACQUES DUBOIS, CIRCA 1745-49 The rectangular shaped top above a sloping fall-front decorated with exotic water landscapes with pagodas, pavillions and bridges within a scrolling foliate border, enclosing a red-lacquered fitted interior with a gilt-tooled black-leather-lined writing surface, three banks of shaped drawers including a small coffre fort and a sliding well, above a waved frieze with a conforming Chinoiserie landscape, the sides decorated with flowers and butterflies within moulded encadrements, on cabriole legs, headed by scrolling foliate and rocaille-cast angle mounts reaching to foliate cast sabots, stamped 'I.DUBOIS' and 'JME', the mounts struck with the C couronné poincon throughout 36 in. (91.5 cm.) high; 31 in. (79 cm.) wide; 17 ? in. (45 cm.) deep (closed); 27 ? in. (70 cm.) deep (open) Jacques Dubois, ma?tre in 1742. The 'C couronné poin?on' was a tax mark used in France on any alloy containing copper between March 1745 and February 1749. Embellished with costly Chinese lacquer, this jewel like bureau is a superb example of the most precious lacquer mounted furniture executed in Paris in the mid-18th Century. A fashion developed by the innovative Parisian dealers also active as designers known as marchand-merciers, the earliest pieces of furniture decorated in this manner are those supplied in the early 1730s to the Court of Karl-Albrecht, Elector of Bavaria in Munich (B. Langer, ‘Die Moebel der Reisidenz Munchen’, Munich, 1995, nos. 15-20). One of the most prominent marchand-mercier active in the mid-18th Century was Lazare Duvaux, whose Livre-Journal recording sales between 1749 and 1757, lists the celebrated Japanese lacquer-mounted bureaux by Bernard II Van Risen Burgh (BVRB) sold to the King in December 1750 and to Mme de Pompadour in December 1756. The present bureau is embellished with colourful and richly decorated panels of 17th Century Chinese lacquer depicting landscapes with lakes and birds. It is stamped by the ébéniste Jacques Dubois, who, just like BVRB, specialised in luxurious furniture mounted with Oriental lacquer. Whilst his career is thinly documented he is known to have initially worked with his half-brother No?l Gerard from the late 1720s, the latter acting as witness to his marriage in Paris in 1730. Established in the rue de Charenton, Dubois enjoyed the privileges of an ouvrier libre and was thus unfettered by the strict guild regulations endured by his fellow ébéniste. He is known to have collaborated with the marchand-merciers Jean-Jacques Machart, Bertin and Pierre I Migeon (A. Pradere, French Furniture Makers, Paris, 1989, p. 171) As the Inventory taken following his death in 1763 clearly testifies, his workshop included a small group of costly pieces in Chinese or Japanese lacquer, listing 'un bureau en lac de Chine' and 'un petite secrétaire en lac de japon' each valued at '200 L'. The inventory also shows that Dubois maintained an extensive stock of gilt-bronze mounts - 432 livres pesant de modèles de bronze, 1 080 L –. One of the mounts characteristic for Dubois’ oeuvre is the gilded- bronze frame to the flap. An example of these is that now in the Art Institute of Chicago (inv.1973.385), whose bronzes are also stamped with the C couronné poin?on. Identical chutes and encadrements to the flap are also displayed on a second secrétaire sold by Lord Rothschild at Christie's London, 17 April 1975, lot 55 (and subsequently 3 December 1981, lot 81), as well as on a third secrétaire sold anonymously at Christie's London, 26 November 1970, lot 101. Other characteristic mounts are the leaf chutes trailing on the legs, which appear on the present bureau but also on a from the collections of the Barons Nathaniel and Albert von Rothschild, sold Christie’s London, 8 July 1999, lot 204 and the bureau from the Dutasta collection, subsequently sold at Christie’s, London, 23 May 2018, lot 211 (￡175,000). They also appear on the desk delivered by the marchand-mercier Jacques-Fran?ois Machart on the 21 August 1755 to Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, marquise de Pompadour (1721-1764), for her bedroom at the chateau de Choisy and sold at Christie’s, London, 13 November 2019, lot 110 (￡1,871,250).
