London wood (planCabinet on Stand 1755-1765 England. Both the manipulation of the veneers and the carving on this cabinet suggest an attribution to William Vile. Born in Somerset, England, in about 1700, Vile was working as a cabinetmaker in London by 1751, in partnership with the upholsterer John Cobb, and retired in 1764. Little of Vileís work is documented, apart from the pieces he made between 1761 and 1764 for his most important patrons, King George III and Queen Charlotte. While records survive describing many of the pieces made for the royal collection, it has not been possible to match this cabinet with any of those objects.Elongated cabriole legs of solid carved mahogany support the cabinet, which is veneered with quartered mahogany, framed by ebony moldings, and bordered by carved Rococo relief ornament. This relief work and the galleried superstructure are painted, probably to simulate ivory.

This chest is one of eight known case pieces that he signed or labeled. Two of the pieces, including this one, are dated 1765; the others date from around 1790, suggesting how long-lived this style was. All are remarkably alike in overall design, decorative detail, and construction.

It includes a drawer and is ornamented with shaped brackets and cutouts on all four sides, indicating that it was designed to be freestanding. The legs and stretcher exemplify the turner's art and resemble the bases of several chests-on-frames thought to have been made in and around Boston.

Date: ca. 1779.This tall and stately secretary, fashioned of the finest figured mahogany, is a masterpiece from the shop of Nathaniel Gould, the leading cabinetmaker of Salem, Massachusetts, in the third quarter of the eighteenth century. When Gould died in 1781, he was listed as a gentleman, having presumably given up working with his hands. On an inside surface, the desk and bookcase bear the enigmatic inscription: "Nath Gould not his work." Presumably a master joiner in his shop wrote these words so that posterity would not credit Gould himself with actually having crafted the piece.

Although Lock is best known for his designs in an English version of the French Rococo style, this drawing is in the bold manner associated with the English Palladian movement. Propagated in early eighteenth-century England by the architect and designer William Kent and his patron Lord Burlington, this architectural style also affected furniture design. Characteristic are the large shell motifs, classical masks, lion's paws, curling acanthus leaves, and running Vitruvian scroll on these tables. Particularly beautiful is the varied surface treatment of the water gilding, with its burnished highlights, as seen, for instance, in the chiseled features of the satyrs carved at the knees of the cabriole legs, coSacristy cabinet ca. 1450-80 Italian, Florence or Siena Like many of his contemporaries, the historian Benedetto Dei (1418-1492) admired the illusionistic effects that the Florentine artisans who specialized in wood inlay, or intarsia, were achieving. In his Memorie (1470) he remarked that he had been in Florence at the time when these craftsmen began making "intarsia perspectives and figures in such a way that they seemed to be painted."1 By this he meant that, like the Florentine painters, they had learned to construct scenes, objects, and three-dimensional patterns according to the rules of perspective.The intarsia cutters worked with a "palette" of small pieces of wood of many different types and colors, inserting and gluing them into cutout hollows of a wooden matrix, such as the walnut carcase of this cupboard. The woods used for intarsia were generally available locally from timber merchants, or they might be supplied by the patron-perhaps a wealthy individual who had ordeCard Table, 19th century, H.28-1/2 X W.35-3/4 X D.35-1/4 in., Mahogany, brass, United States, 19th centuryTable chest withdrawersBeechwood Régence stool, tabouret furniture interior design wood beechwood walnut textiles, embroided upholstery (depiction: Aeneas flees Troy with his father Anchises and his son Ascanius on his back) stuck with volute legs with twisted vase régenceWalnut Table with Lion Sphinxes.

Date: ca. 1790.On October 7, 1790, many European royals and aristocrats were gathered in Frankfurt to attend the coronation of Leopold II as Holy Roman Emperor. Ferdinand IV (1751-1825), king of Naples, was among those present for this solemn event. Married to the new emperor's sister, Maria Carolina, Ferdinand was the brother-rin-law of both Leopold and Marie-Antoinette. At this time of social and political instability caused by the French Revolution, the Parisian marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre and his business partner, Martin-Eloi Lignereux, traveled to Frankfurt as well. They were looking for new clients and lucrative commissions. This secretary (or its pair) and a matching commode were among the luxury goods they brought along with them and offered for sale.

This stool, or tabouret, consists of a padded rectangular seat resting on four legs. The top of each leg is carved with a reverse C-scroll embedded with a rosette containing a foliate ray. Each leg is joined by a wooden stretcher carved in the form of scrolls that meet the central block, which features a motif of egg and ribbon molding and is terminated by a seed-pod finial. Small yet often embellished with rich tapestries and ornate carving, tabourets formed an important part of ceremonies and etiquette at the French court under Louis XIV. Princesses and aristocratic ladies fought for the right to sit upon a stool in the presence of the king or queen. The exuberant scrollwork found on this small stool intimates the exuberant Rococo forms that emerged in Versailles following the death of Louis XIV in 1715, which wouldFrances Lichten, Chest, c 1938 ChestMahogany Biedermeier table, table furniture interior design wood mahogany, sheet d 0.7 Ranke twisted leg with three-sided very thin leaf under truss paper label with no.

The son of a Flemish cabinetmaker, Vandercruse also used the French equivalent of his name, Lacroix. Typical of his oeuvre is the colorful cornflower and latticework marquetry. The decoration of the large Sèvres plaque, with its geometric pattern of ribbons and shells interspersed with diapered cartouches and garlands, is similar to that of useful wares, and thought to date to about 1764.
