Importante armoire d'Alger - Algeria, probably by Beaudroit, circa 1870/1880 In molded, carved and polychrome-treated wood, open on the front with two doors at the top and two panels at the bottom, revealing a finely painted horseshoe arch on the inside. The cabinet features several compartments in reserve, adorned with various mihrab-shaped arches, compartmentalized panels adorned with star-shaped polygons, the upper part decorated with dentils in the Moorish taste, topped by a pediment and the belt adorned with an Arabic proverb in Maghribi script. The sides are adorned with three registers: a starry composition set with crescent moons, a centered floral composition, and a YB monogram. Inscriptions: Ma sha allah in the center. Condition: very good. 220 x 110 x 41 cm. This cabinet is similar to a model signed by Beaudroit in Algiers, dated 1868, sold at Gros & Delettrez on June 17, 2003, no. 351. Charles Beaudroit was a carpenter and cabinetmaker who settled in Algiers, impasse Bab el-Oued, in the 1860s/80s. In 1873, he took part in the Toulon exhibition, to which craftsmen from Algeria were invited, as well as the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1878. The press reports that "the most attractive point in the Salon galleries is the one on which the few specimens of small Algerian furniture sent to us by Mr. Beaudroit are displayed". Charles Desprez also praises Beaudroit's work in the chapter devoted to Algiers shops in his guide "L'Hiver à Alger", 4th edition, ed. Ad. Jourdan, 1885, pp. 124-125. "In contrast to counterfeiting, which is a crude, mechanical copy, there is what we might call "surfaçon", which, without altering the character of the model, perfects the details. (...) the Moorish trinkets and Oriental furniture at Beaudroit, impasse Bab-el-Oued, are worthy of the connoisseur's attention. Here, nicely displayed in a small salon, are some truly marvellous works of Arab carving and painting: vases, chandeliers, trays, bowls, chests, sideboards, shelves. All unique and original. Not a single one in duplicate. As a result, some of them sell for their weight in gold." Oeuvre comparable / Similar work : Sotheby's, Paris, March 30, 2011, n°73, for a piece of furniture of the same workmanship. An Algerian important cabinet, Algiers, probably by Beaudroit, circa 1870/1880

ATTRIBUTED TO BVRB, FOR BERNARD II VAN RIESEN BURGH, CHINA LACQUER AND MARTIN VARNISH FLAP DESK, LOUIS XV PERIOD Moulded breccia marble top surrounded by a gilt-bronze moulding mounted in paste (note a mending in the fixing notches). 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. Bronze trim such as astragalus, reserve and frame fillets, front jambs decorated with varnished foliage, others replaced or lost. The flap reveals a Brazilian rosewood veneered interior and rosewood veneered drawers. This secretary follows the model of a set of well-known cabinet-style secretaires, in Japanese lacquer, Chinese lacquer or wood marquetry and covered with more or less opulent bronzes. (Accidents, missing parts and restorations). Attributed to BVRB, for Bernard II van Riesen Burgh, a Louis XV Chinese lacquer and Martin varnish secretaire 129 x 108 x 46 CM - 50,8 x 42,5 x 18,1 IN Provenance : Lot 73 Christie, Masson and Woods sale, 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 was 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 Exposition Louis XV catalog suggests that these secretaires, generally dated around 1755, may have been sold by Lazare Duvaux (1703~1758), the merchant dealer. The obvious long popularity of this model (particularly given the probable 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 neo-classical tastes, bought his secretary from the famous merchant Simon Poirier in 1763 'Un secrétaire en armoire garni de bronze doré ... 1000'. " Further references: - Japanese lacquer secretary, lot 25 Riahi Christie's sale December 6, 2012. - Marquetry secretary kept at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Légion d'Honneur in San Francisco, provenance Galerie Kraemer, Paris. IN MUSEUMS Marquetry secretary with flap. Louis XV period. Stamped B.V.R.B (Bernard Van Risenburgh) - 1763. Provenance : Purchased by the Earl of Coventry, from the Merchant-Mercier Simon-Ph. Poirier, on September 9, 1763, for his Croome Court castle. 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
