Support-height furniture in transitional style with marble (circa 1900)
Very beautiful support furniture made of veneer in the Transition style between Louis XV and Louis XVI, with its superb marble. Work comparable to that of the Faubourg (St Antoine, in Paris) where cabinetmakers gathered to reproduce furniture in a traditional style. With very elegant proportions, it rests on four turned feet fitted with brass and opens with a large curved door revealing an original shelf. The worked key is original and the lock functions perfectly - the door opens and closes without any issues as well. The front and sides are curved (the sides inward, creating a very nice visual dynamic) and the piece is richly adorned with gilded bronzes, notably long friezes that highlight the lines of the furniture. The veneer is very bright, made of burl, and the marquetry is done with great discretion. It also opens with a drawer above the door, equipped with its two small gilded bronze handles and its rich bronze fresco. One notices the superb thick shell marble. In fact, they have amalgamated two shaped plates to create this unusual height of the protruding edge. This is the original work of the furniture. There are a few rare superficial signs of wear due to its age (around 1900), but it is in excellent overall condition, solid, stable, and ready to use as is in a living room, office, or even a bedroom.
