Descrizione dettagliata lotto

Roger Vandercruse 'dit' Lacroix (1728-1799), maître in 1755.

This elegant bonheur-du-jour, embellished with 'naif' marquetry of utensils and vases inspired by the borders of Chinese lacquer screens, is related to several examples stamped 'RVLC', including one sold Christie's London, 12 June 2003, lot 1075, and another sold from the collection of Bernard Tapie, Drouot, Paris, 22 June 1995, lot 7. Besides Lacroix, this type of marquetry was popularised by the specialist marqueteur Charles Topino (maître in 1773) and Pierre Pioniez (maître in 1765).
