A fine, Louis XV period, marquetry commode galbée (curved) stamped, “MONDON”, by its maker François I Mondon (c. 1693-1775), on the front left panel. The commode is made of “bois de violet” (tulipwood) and “bois de rose” (kingwood). The curved front opens with four drawers on three rows. There is chiseled and gilded bronze ornamentation, which can be attributed to Jacques Guinard, of a shell on the apron with busts of women at each front corner. The feet are adorned with the decoration of turned and spiraling acanthus leaves. The rouge marble is from Flanders.
A highly significant and rare, German, 18th century, marquetry bureau created with Italian marquetry in ivory, stained horn, ebony, sycamore, rosewood, purplewood, walnut, and pewter by Antonio and Luccio de Lucci of Venice, dated 1686. Inlaid with ivory lines, the rectangular top is centered by an ivory coronet cartouche above a sloping fall of an architectural colonnade with figures in landscapes. There is a scrolling strapwork border amongst panels of scrolling leaves, birds, and insects, enclosing a sliding well and a stepped interior of three short drawers to each side, above two short drawers inlaid with seated blackamoors, one holding a scroll inscribed Ant de Luccio Fece in Venetia 1686 and centered by a hunt scene, above a shaped apron. The sides are similarly inlaid with allegorical figures and battle scenes on cabriole legs.
A beautiful suite of six, French Empire period, mahogany and mahogany veneer fauteuils with inverted backs that have carved decoration of roses and palms. The arms rest on carved winged swan necks. The arched feet are carved with lotus leaves. The upholstery is a silk tapestry with a different flower decoration for each chair. The fauteuils are stamped, “L. BELLANGE”, by its maker Louis-François Bellange.
