An Exquisite Table à Ouvrage in the Louis XV manner by Beurdeley of Paris Of beautifully drawn proportions, constructed from kingwood, amaranth, and tulipwood alongside various specimen woods, the cabriole legs with gilded bronze foliate cast sabots and foliate espagnolettes, the shaped frieze inlaid with panels of floral marquetry to all sides, a single drawer sliding forward revealing a hinged leather writing surface itself flanked by two compartments; the shaped sliding top with a scrolled cartouche centred by musician monkeys surrounded by three marquetry trophies representing Music, Love, & Hunting surrounded by a trellis parquetry; surmounted by a three-quarter ormolu gallery 'à la grecque.' French, circa 1880 This exact table is illustrated in Denise Ledeoux-Lebard's 'Le mobilier francais du XIX siècle," as well as appearing in Camille Mestdagh's 'L'ameublement d'art francais,' and the model is discussed by Christopher Payne in his "Paris Furniture." The marquetry scene on the top of this writing table derives from engravings published in Paris in the mid-eighteenth century entitled Le Tambour de Basque and Le Tambourin by J. Guelard after designs by Christophe Huet (d.1759). the trophies come from a design by Gilles Demarteau l'aîné (1722-1776) and can be seen on several pieces of 18th century French fine furniture...
