描述
A Highly Unusual Louis XV Style Gilt-Bronze Mounted Marquetry Writing Desk and Cartonnier.
This unusual writing desk has a bombé shaped cartonnier (an ornamental box for papers usually for placing on a desk), surmounted by a gilt-bronze putto and a cockerel. The top section is inset with a clock above eight tooled green leather fronted drawers with scroll handles, the shaped sides and back finely inlaid with marquetry panels. The lower section has a fall-front frieze drawer with leather writing surface, opening to two small interior drawers. It is supported by four cabriole legs with fine gilt-bronze acanthus mounts.
The distinctive shape and form of the cartonnier bears close comparison to a Louis XV style bureau by Joseph-Emanuel Zwiener which also incorporates eight leather fronted drawers but is surmounted by a pair of gilt bronze putti and a hound. A further related bureau and cartonnier by Boudet is illustrated by D. Ledoux-Lebard in her book ‘Le Mobilier Francais du XIXe Siecle’, p. 95.

1864年在特鲁瓦成立的Bresson-Vachette公司以其创始人的名字命名,1865年公司更名为Vachette Frères,并迅速成为19世纪下半叶法国领先的锁匠之一。 Vachette在巴黎设有商业办事处,在特鲁瓦设有工场,从1870年起在Sailly-Flibeaucourt设有工场;Vachette向当时许多最重要的巴黎企业家提供锁具。这一时期的锁具在交叉的钥匙上标有著名的 "V.F "和 "巴黎 "印章,在19世纪末创造的一些最重要的家具上都可以找到它们。
今天,''Vachette''商标仍然作为STREMLER/JPM和LAPERCHE的子公司存在,由瑞典亚萨合莱集团控股。
