Sheraton Mahogany Sideboard Buffet Server Inlay

Sheraton Mahogany Sideboard Buffet Server Inlay

You are viewing a gorgeous marquetry mahogany sideboard in the Sheraton manner. It’s both a practical and decorative piece. They are great for displaying vases of flowers on, perhaps in an entrance hallway, and with the storage (two cupboards, two drawers) they are also good for storing items away from sight.

The piece is very elegant with the slimline legs and the curve to front of the desk and is the height of craftmanship. It’s mind boggling when you think of the amount of work that goes into making something like this – especially the marquetry work where the individual designs have to be cut from softer wood and then embedded into the main wood of the structure.

Boulle Inlay Writing Desk Bureau Plat French Louis XV

Boulle Inlay Writing Desk Bureau Plat French Louis XV

We bought this at an auction house in near Versaille, whilst on a buying trip in France. Pieces of this quality are rare so we are expecting a lot of interest on eBay. Boulle, André Charles (1642-1732), French furniture designer, who developed a style of furniture inlay that came to be known as Boulle or Buhl. As cabinetmaker to Louis XIV, he produced desks, cabinets, clocks, chests, and even parquet floors, working in an ornate Baroque style. He is especially noted for highly coloured inlays of exotic woods cut to shapes that form arabesques, landscapes, or flowing draperies. The distinctivetype of inlay that he developed and that bears his name consists of tortoiseshell with inlay in brass, pewter, or copper. His influence continued into the 19th century

You are viewing a gorgeous French silvered bronze art deco statue by the French sculptor Joe Descamps (1869 – 1950). This piece is named ‘Beauty of Paris’ – it has also been referred to as ‘Cape Girl’. I hope the photos go some way in conveying the beauty to this piece, it’s certainly better in the flesh. The casting is of the highest quality and this original work of art would surely be the talking point of any interiors scheme. This is a later recasting from the original and it is based in the US where we will ship from, good news for US buyers.
