Louis XVI Style Parquetry Secrétaire, circa 1890

About the Item

A Louis XVI style gilt bronze mounted parquetry and marquetry fall-front Secrétaire with a marble top. Stamped to the carcass ‘10298’. This elegantly shaped Secrétaire is decorated all-over with foliate lattice inlay and has an inset marble top with three quarter gallery, above a central fall-front door and two cupboard doors. The canted uprights are headed by gilt bronze ribbon tied mounts and the secretaire terminates in ogee feet with gilt bronze rosettes, untied by a shaped apron centred by a fine fronded acanthus mount. The fall front is enlivened by a very fine gilt bronze framed, patinated bronze relief; an allegory of Water, with putti playing with a Dolphin, in the manner of Clodion, possibly after a drawing by Givanni Battista Cipriani. France, circa 1890.
