专家说明

This secrétaire-à-abattant is in the style of either Martin Carlin or Adam Weisweiler, both working in the last half of the 18th century in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, supplying the marchand-mercier Daguerre with their latest creations. Although stamped Carlin, this cabinet is a very high-crafted 19th century version, probably made in one of the Parisian workshops during the reign of Napoleon III, probably due to the re-born fashion for Marie-Antoinette-style pieces launched by Imperatrice Eugénie.

From 1743 until 1789, the cabinet-makers were obliged by law to stamp their latest creations with the initials JME, standing for Jurande des menuisiers-ébénistes, an association controlling the quality standards of the newly-produced pieces of furniture.

The Japanese lacquer panels are all decorated in gold and silver hiramaki-e on a roiro ground, the front with pomegranate and plum trees, the sides each with pine trees and bamboo.
