印刷品描述
路易斯-奥古斯特-阿尔弗雷德（Dit Alfred I）-博德利的路易十六风格鎏金铜制镶嵌秘书桌à Abattant。
这个带下拉式写字板的柜子是阿尔弗雷德一世-博尔德利在博尔德利之家任职期间展示的家具制造艺术的一个精致的例子。竖起耳朵的长方形漂白turquin大理石顶部，上面有一个楣形抽屉，上面有一个穿孔玑镂的支架。镶板的正面和侧面镶嵌着精致的镶木地板，上面有几何方块和雏菊花头。跌落的正面有一个绿色的皮革书写面，有镀金的边框，内部装有一个架子，上面有三个小孔和四个短抽屉。柜子的底座部分有门，围着一个单层架子。
带花头的菱形拼花的独特设计是路易十六时期包括马丁-卡林和让-亨利-里泽纳在内的橱柜制造商们所熟悉的主题。充满花的设计被认为是受到了日本和中国漆器作品的启发，比如现存于华莱士收藏馆的一个漆器柜子，它是1680年左右在京都为欧洲市场生产的（Inv: F19）。

The Beurdeley family were a flourishing dynasty of three generations of fine quality cabinetmakers working from 1818 to 1895. The firm was particularly well known for its exceptional metalwork, most commonly basing their designs on important eighteenth century examples. Their mercurial gilding and hand chasing are often of such a high standard that it is difficult to distinguish them from late eighteenth century work.
The founder of the dynasty Jean Beurdeley (1772-1853) was a Burgundian craftsman conscripted into the Napoleonic army. After hostilities ended in 1815 he settled in Paris opening a shop for curiosités and working as a latter day marchand mercier. Initially based on the rue Saint-Honoré, in 1840 Beurdeley moved to the famous Hanover Pavilion situated on the corner of rue Louis-Legrand and boulevard des Italiens, and the business was run by his only surviving son, Louis-Auguste-Alfred (1808-1882). This successful business, which had numerous official commissions including in 1853 the marriage coffer for the Empress Eugénie, was continued by Louis’ son, Alfred-Emmanuel-Louis (1847-1919).
The business continued in its traditional style with very few variations until 1895. Alfred, along with the most famous artists of the period, took part in the 1878 Paris Exposition Universelle where he won the gold medal. Following on from this glory, he went on to open a shop in New York.
His participation in the 1883 Amsterdam Universal Exhibition drew even further attention to his work, and possibly as a result he was awarded the Ordre National de la Légion d’Honneur, France’s highest official mark of recognition.
The incredible quality of each generation’s work ranked the firm of Beurdeley as pre-eminent amongst Parisian makers of meubles de luxe.
