EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent piece of history - the Royal Scrutoire from 1725. This George I gilt-gesso bureau, adorned with intricate gilt gesso and doors fitted with looking glass plates, was originally crafted as part of a pair for John V, the King of Portugal. However, tragically destroyed during the devastating London Blitz, this remarkable bureau lives on through this photograph. The close-up image allows us to appreciate every detail of this exquisite furniture piece. The golden hue emanating from its gilded surfaces exudes an air of royalty and opulence. The mirror-like finish adds depth and elegance to the overall design. Transporting us back in time to the 18th century, we can imagine esteemed individuals sitting at this desk, penning important letters or conducting affairs of state. Its presence evokes a sense of grandeur and power that only objects associated with royalty possess. Published in The Connoisseur Volume 105 by Otto Limited in London in 1940s, this print serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic beauty. It captures not only the physicality but also the spirit behind such masterpieces. While no longer physically present due to war's destructive forces, this photograph immortalizes the Royal Scrutoire for generations to come. It symbolizes resilience amidst chaos while reminding us of our rich cultural heritage that should be cherished and preserved.
