Description
A Chinese-style European lacquered cabinet with a drop-leaf desk at the base. Decorated with lively lake landscapes and birds in gold on a black background. Short, curved legs with bronze feet; the front legs extend from the rounded side panels and are topped with openwork bronze finials. The slightly arched front opens via a flap revealing five compartments and six small compartments, three of which are lockable. The lower section opens via two doors, revealing three compartments and a solid door panel. Moulded Aleppo breccia marble top (attached). Stamped ‘DELORME’, Adrien Delorme Faizelot, master’s certificate obtained on 22 June 1748. Louis XV period. H. 132 cm – W. 93 cm – D. 44.5 cm (Damage, cracks, touch-ups to the lacquer, restorations). Eighteenth-century almanacs cite him as one of the most skilled cabinetmakers. François de Salverte notes in his work *Les Ebénistes du XVIIIème siècle*: ‘his early works are almost all finished with European varnishes imitating the lacquers of the Far East’. The style of our secretary desk, and in particular its ‘low cabinet’ form – that is to say, without a bottom drawer – and its characteristic decoration allow us to date it to around 1750. Adrien Delorme (1722–1791) came from a distinguished line of Parisian cabinetmakers bearing the name Faizelot. He cut his teeth in the workshop of his father, François Delorme, who already specialised in the manufacture of lacquered or varnished furniture.
