Description

Rosewood and satinwood veneered doucine bookcase with rich chased and gilded bronze trim. Gusseted legs, the front ones extending from the rounded uprights. The sides are decorated with inlaid crosspieces. The slightly recessed front opens to reveal three latticed leaves and a row of three drawers in a doucine arrangement. Marble top. Beautiful gilt bronze trim, such as falling satyr masks, keyholes and hinges. Stamped I. DUBOIS. First half of the 18th century. Height : 153 cm - Width : 218 cm - Depth : 45 cm Jacques DUBOIS (1693-1763) received the title of Master in Paris on September 5, 1742. The very Regency form of this armoire bibliothèque can be a little confusing, with the stamp of Jacques DUBOIS, undisputed Master of Rocaille. The stamp may indicate that this piece of furniture was restored by Jacques DUBOIS, as was the case for a Boulle marquetry desk sold at CHRISTIE'S in Paris on November 24, 2024 (lot no. 507). This desk, with its mascarons similar to those on our armoire, would have been restored by the Master.
