Just as the Gothic Revival library was enlivened by the contrasting colors of various types of wood, this table features an extraordinary specimen marble top composed of brightly colored pieces of marble and other minerals. The tabletop is supported by architecturally inspired flying buttresses extending from the central post, an excellent example of how Gothic Revival furniture employed features reserved for use in buildings during the Gothic period (12th-15th century)..

The two drawers are treated as a single decorative unit with continuous floral marquetry of endcut kingwood framed by scrolled and foliated mounts. Few pieces of furniture by Lacroix in the Louis XV style are known, and the present example belongs to no established group of his furniture. The mounts were used in varing combinations on commodes by a number of contemporary cabinetmakerse.g., Charles Chevallier le jeune (maître before 1738-1771), Pierre Macret (1727-1796), Nicolas Petit (1732-1791), Adrien Faizelot Delorme (maître 1748, retired 1783), and Matthieu Criaerd (1689-1776)and were probably commercially available in Paris in the 1750s.[Bill Rieder, 1984. Commode 206974High chest of drawers 1700-1730 American A new form introduced with the William and Mary style, the high chest of drawers was a prestigious addition to the early-eighteenth-century home. The scalloped skirt, curved stretchers, and six turned legs on this chest bring lightness and movement to the form. The large, smooth surfaces of the drawer fronts of the upper and lower cases were achieved by abandoning the panel-and-frame tradition in favor of dovetailed-board constructiona technique created by the new craft of cabinetmaking. Dramatic surface decoration, accomplished here by bordering the richly figured walnut-veneered drawer fronts with a herringbone pattern, is characteristic of furniture dating from the 1690s to the 1730s..

This chest belongs to a group of furniture attributed to drum maker and joiner Robert Crosman, who likely learned the furniture-making trade from family members. The pieceís simple plank construction is characteristic of Crosmanís work. Although the flat top is undecorated, a white tree with ocher leaves and red flowering buds, and four birds surround the initials ìH Bî on the central panel. Early painted chests were likely made for young women as dowry vessels. The inclusion of womenís initials on chests, as well as the use of a decorative vocabulary that bespeaks fertility and prosperity, supports this long-standing view. The initials on known Crosman chests are thought to be those of his sitters and other women in his family; the initials on this chest could be those of Hannah Blake, a relative of Crosmanís second wife..

This one is likely the “small Cylinder-top writing desk of yellow wood costing 250 rubles, plus 90 [for transport and packing” listed in an invoice dated March 23, 1786, and delivered to Empress Catherine II. The desks distinctive yellow color comes from the veneers of exotic hardwood, called yellowheart, or pau amarello (Euxylophora paraensis). When splashed with sunlight, the wood glows with an almost mystical radiance. The veneers are complemented by finely chased gilt-bronze mounts that may have been supplied by François Rémond from Paris. The top rolls up and disappears into the desk, exposing a central open compartment with two adjustable shelves. It is flanked on either side by a pigeonhole with stepped platforms that conceal spring-operated secret drawers. A leather-lined slide extends the space for writing; below it are three large drawers.. Rolltop deKimono Rack (Ik) with Scrolling Foliage and Tokugawa Family Crest 18th century Japan As numerous extant examples demonstrate, in the Momoyama (1573-1615) and early Edo periods artisans from various painting schools depicted on folding screens an array of sumptuously patterned garments, including Noh robes casually draped over kimono racks. These compositions of garments on lacquer clothing stands appeared in paintings as “advertisements” for kimono makers as well as in paintings of both brothel scenes and the interiors of military residences. In fact, a twelfth-century document mentions the interior furnishings appropriate for a room in an aristocrat’s house, including a clothing stand draped with garments. By the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries, lacquer clothing stands had become a conventional item included in the bridal trousseau of wealthy women. The kimono rack on view could have been part of the trousseau of a Tokugawa princess..

The decorative carvings were completed by highly-skilled carvers - neither of the craftsman signed their work and their identity remains unknown.. Console table (one of a pair). French. ca. 1735-40.

Chest of drawers 2010Commode ca. 1760 Denis Genty Genty, who worked as a cabinetmaker and as a furniture dealer, foreshadowed in his marquetry decoration the scrolling outline and placement of the Rococo-style mounts. The mounts protected the corners, feet, and keyhole; gave access to the drawers by means of handles; emphasized the serpentine shape of the commode; and added a sculptural element to the piece. Here, half the mounts have been removed to illustrate their importance. Displayed from the back, the separate corner mount shows that only the front side was gilded. The incised mark III matches that on the stile of the commode, indicating that this particular mount was intended for the front right corner.. Commode 207877Nutcracker, 1600-1800. Pinto Collection - Purchased from Edward H Pinto, 1965.. This English, carved boxwood nutcracker probably dates from the late 17th century or beginning of the 18th century. Screw thread nutcrackers were a novelty at that time, and as the process of cutting the screw thread was a difficult and precise operation, such novelties were no doubt regarded as luxury items. Nutcrackers came in a variety of shapes and sizes. They were used for cracking wild hazelnuts and walnuts which were much smaller than the cultivated varieties we usually eat today.Bake Room Table.
