Audience scene between Shâh Tahmâsp and Humâyun, Iran qâjâr, signed and dated 1855 Binding plate in painted, gilded and lacquered papier-mâché depicting an audience scene in a pavilion open to the exterior, between the Safavid shâh and his Mughal guest kneeling in the center on a carpet, in the presence of several standing or kneeling dignitaries, with two dancers bustling in the foreground. The scene is surrounded by cartouches calligraphed with thuluth verses. Between the cartouches, circular medallions adorned with inscriptions giving the date Friday 10 Rabi' I 1272 H / November 20, 1855 and citing the workshop of Aghâ Mirzâ Nâser In a wooden frame covered with silk weaving. Sight size: 35.5 x 53 cm; overall size: 49.8 x 68.3 cm Substantial damage, crazing, small chips and blocking. A qalamdan pencil box with gol-o-bolbol decoration, Iran, 20th century; length. 26 cm, minor accidents. This scene of an audience granted by the second Shah of the Safavid dynasty (r. 1524-76) to the second emperor of the Mughal dynasty (r. 1555-56) is inspired by one of the frescoes adorning the walls of the banqueting hall of the Chehel Sotoun pavilion in the royal palace of Isfahan, built in the 17th century. The meeting is historic: it took place in July 1544, and sealed the protection given by Shâh Tahmasp to his contemporary following the loss of his kingdom. The scene inspired many artists, both Indian and Persian. A famous Mughal example is the folio of the Akbarnâmeh illustrated by Sanvala in 1602-03 and preserved in the British Library in London (Or. 12988, f. 98r). Another Qajar example, also produced on papier-mâché, is the binding plate in the Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg (Acc. no. VR-200).

ATTRIBUTED TO BVRB, BERNARD VAN RIESEN BURGH, A LOUIS XV PERIOD CHINA LACQUER AND MARTIN VARNISH SECRETARY WITH FLAP. Moulded breccia marble top encircled by a paste-mounted ormolu moulding (note the notches in the fastenings). The flap and two front doors are covered in black, gold and brown Chinese lacquer, as are the sides, each decorated with two large panels of the same lacquer. The decoration on the stave, with its leafy branch motif, is in Martin varnish (European lacquer) in the Chinese style. The flap's lacquer panel features central figures in a four-wheeled rickshaw, palace entrances and plants. The lacquer panels of the two lower doors depict inhabited islets and a bridge linking them. The sides depict park views, entrances to dwellings and figures in procession. The panel frames are in European black varnish. Some of the period bronze trim, such as the astragal, reserve and framing fillets, and front jambs decorated with varnished foliage, have been replaced or lost. The flap reveals a Brazilian rosewood veneered interior and rosewood veneered drawers. (Accidents, missing parts and restorations) An attributed to BVRB, Bernard Van Riesen Burgh, secrétaire, Louis XV period, 18th century HEIGHT. 129 - WIDTH. 108 - PROF. 46 CM - H. 50,8 - W. 42,5 - D. 18,1 IN. Provenance Lot 73 Christie's sale, Masson and Woods, London, July 2, 1981, reproduced in the catalog. References cited in the 1981 catalog: "A particularly close comparison is the lacquer cabinet (with two doors high) in the Forsyth Wickes collection (C. Packer, Paris Furniture, 1957, fig. 85). This is a more lavish version at Goodwood House, Sussex, which was probably donated or purchased by the 3rd Duke of Richmond, ambassador to France after 1763 (P. Verlet, French Furniture and Decoration of the 18th century, 1967, figs. 120 and 121). However, the majority of existing examples are in BVRB floral marquetry, including one from the Ford collection sold by Sotheby Parke Bernet, February 25, 1978, lot 82; another from the Lord Michelham collection sold at Sotheby & Co, Monte Carlo, May 22, 1978, lot 236, unsold (stamped); a third (stamped) from the Lord Buckland collection was sold in these rooms, May 21, 1936, lot 54; while another (stamped) from the Earls of Coventry collection was sold Sotheby & Co., June 25, 1948, lot 54. Two secretaries (both stamped) of this model from private collections were exhibited at the Exposition Louis XV, Hôtel de la Monnaie, Paris, 1974, nos. 428 and 429. The catalog of the Louis XV Exhibition suggests that these secretaires, generally dated around 1755, may have been sold by Lazare Duvaux (1703~1758), the marchand mercier. The obvious long popularity of this model (particularly given the likely date of acquisition of the Richmond secretary) is indicated by the fact that the 6th Earl of Coventry, a discerning patron of a wide range of neoclassical tastes, he bought his secretary from the famous merchant Simon Poirier in 1763 'Un secrétaire en armoire garni de bronze doré... 1000'.

IN MUSEUMS Marquetry secretary with flap. Louis XV period. Stamped B.V.R.B (Bernard Van Risenburgh) - 1763. Purchased by the Earl of Coventry, from the Merchant-Mercier Simon-Ph. Poirier, on September 9, 1763, for his castle of Croome Court. Chester Beatty collection. Maharanée de Baroda. Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. This secretary, stamped Bernard II Van Risen Burgh, is typical of the Louis XV period. It is made of marquetry and veneer of rosewood, amaranth and bois de bout with motifs of flowering branches, foliage and shrubs. The incredible craftsmanship of this piece testifies to the talent of the cabinetmaker and the prestige of the client. BVRB delivered this secretary to the 6th Earl of Coventry in 1763, via the merchant Simon-Ph. Poirier, for his Croome Court castle in England. The delicate marquetry allows the cabinetmaker to demonstrate his mastery in the ornamentation of chased and gilded bronzes that run the length of the secretary in pure rocaille style. Its silhouette is refined by the presence of a doucine on which a griotte marble top rests. B.V.R.B. is one of the greatest cabinetmakers of the Louis XV style, and his works demonstrate great beauty, a perfect balance of elegance and elegance.
