EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning Late Louis XVI ormolu-mounted boulle marquetry side cabinet, dating back to the years 1780-1800. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this exquisite piece of furniture. Measuring at an impressive 98.5x147.5x51.5 cm, it demands attention and admiration. Created by the talented artist Adam Weisweiler (c. 1744-c. 1820), or attributed to him, this side cabinet is a true masterpiece that combines various materials such as ormolu, pewter, ebony, tortoiseshell, and marble. It was commissioned by the renowned Marchand-Mercier Claude-Francois Juilliot and incorporates elements from the esteemed Andre-Charles Boulle (1642-1732) from the era of Louis XIV. The photo captures not only the beauty of this exceptional piece but also its historical significance and cultural value. Its bas d'amoire design features bacchic masks representing different seasons - autumn and summer - symbolizing abundance and fertility associated with Bacchus and Ceres. Displayed in a private collection today, this remarkable side cabinet stands as a testament to the skillful artistry of its creator and serves as a reminder of the opulence that characterized late 18th-century French furniture design.
