Exceptional and Very Rare 18th-Century George III Thomas Chippendale Period Mahogany Bookcase *English, circa 1770 – all original and highly authentic* An outstanding and extremely rare 18th-century George III period mahogany bookcase, in the manner of Thomas Chippendale, a true statement piece that combines refined architectural design, exceptional craftsmanship and superb, entirely original condition. The upper section is crowned by an impressive broken arch pediment above a finely carved blind fret frieze, giving the bookcase great presence and elegance. Below, a pair of beautifully panelled cupboard doors, retaining their original brass escutcheons, key and fully working lock, open to reveal generous shelving, ideal for books or treasured objects. The lower section is equally distinguished, fitted with two short and three long graduated oak lined drawers, all retaining their original swan neck brass handles. The whole is raised on classic original blocked ogee bracket feet, which, together with the original panelled oak backboards, confirm the authenticity and integrity of this important piece. Made in England circa 1770, this bookcase displays a superb, rich mahogany colour and a warm, mellow patina developed over more than two centuries. The surfaces, proportions and details are all in remarkable original condition, clearly reflecting the skill of the Georgian cabinetmaker and the careful stewardship it has enjoyed throughout its life. Bookcases of this calibre, period and originality are exceptionally scarce on the market. A very fine example of Georgian library furniture in the Chippendale tradition, this piece offers a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely period, all authentic masterpiece that unites grandeur, elegance and practicality. A superb focal point for a drawing room, library or study, and an ideal choice for any serious collector or refined interior seeking a museum quality statement piece of outstanding 18th?century craftsmanship.

Jan Boeckhorst (Münster 1604 - Antwerp 1668) Henri IV at the Battle of Ivry 17th century Pen and Brown ink, watercolour and gouache, heightened with whith and red wash on paper 200 x 291 mm In 1622, Maria de' Medici signed a contract with Rubens for two series of twenty-four paintings. The first series depicted her own life story, the other the heroic deeds of her husband: Henri IV. As was his custom, Rubens worked on this commission together with some of his pupils and assistants. The successful king had been assassinated 12 years earlier whilst riding through Paris in an open carriage. He had brought an end to the fierce civil war between Protestants and Catholics and did not shy away from doing the heavy lifting on the battlefield himself. What was intended to be a tribute to one of France’s bravest leaders turned out to be a damp squib. Due to turmoil at court, the series about the famous battle near Paris remained unfinished. This dynamic and finely worked drawing captures the dramatic moment of the Battle of Ivry (1590), where King Henri IV led his forces to a decisive victory during the French Wars of Religion. Executed in pen and brown ink and enriched with watercolour and gouache, the composition is animated by vigorous movement and strong contrasts of light and shadow. The artist heightens the scene with touches of white and red wash, emphasizing the glint of armour, the energy of the horses, and the intensity of the clash. The central figure of Henri IV, mounted and illuminated, commands the composition, surrounded by swirling troops and fallen adversaries. Ethereal figures above the battlefield introduce a sense of divine favour, a motif often associated with royal propaganda of the period. Despite its relatively intimate scale, the sheet conveys remarkable grandeur and narrative force, making it a compelling example of late 16th‑ to early 17th‑century battle imagery. We are grateful to Stijn Alsteens of the Fondation Custodia for his attribution of the drawing to Jan Boeckhorst.

Farah Atassi (b.1981, Brussels, Belgium), 'The Shadow,' 2026. Signed and dated on the back. Oil on canvas, 195.3 x 114.3 x 2.9 cm - 76 7/8 x 45 x 1 1/8 in. Provenance: Artist Studio. Exhibitions: Farah Atassi, 'Metamorphosis', Jun 26 — Jul 31, 2026 | Almine Rech New York. 'The Shadow' comes from a recent body of work in which Farah Atassi explored themes of metamorphosis and freedom. The central figure is a chimeric half woman-half flower that appears to flourish before our very eyes. Daphne– the nymph turned into a laurel tree to escape the god Apollo– comes to mind, a representation of transformation and transcendence. In 'The Shadow' the flower woman is organic, yet sculptural, retaining a distinct humanity that the artist has simplified, symbolized. While the composition is dreamlike and ethereal, a bold shadow brings a touch of realism, anchoring the twisting form to the pictorial plane. This work is a painting within a painting, a formal choice that allows Atassi to contrast two distinct realms while also interrogating the metamorphic potential of art. Notes of Magritte’s uncanny, atmospheric beauty emerge as the flower woman in 'The Shadow' is captured in the act of liberating herself from a canvas, striking out into the rosy dawn.

Transition period secretary in wardrobe stamped Charles TOPINO (1742-1803) and Jurande hallmark Rectangular in shape, the front uprights with cut sides, the front legs arched, the hind legs straight, the oak frame, it opens with a drawer, two leaves and a flap revealing a compartmentalized interior of seven drawers and four compartments. Top of breccia marble from Aleppo. Inlaid decoration in rosewood, amaranth, holly, sycamore, lemon tree, stained wood, tobacco wood, drawing lattices on the uprights and the upper drawer, those of the latter, embellished with flowers, and trompe-l'oeil on the front and on the sides, a decoration of garlands of oval cartouches of stylised acanthus leaves uniting the panels of the toilet seat and the leaves, each also presenting, in the upper part, a leafy garland that can be found on the side panels. The latter are decorated with two gadrooned urns close to the flowered vases of the leaves. The toilet seat has a trompe-l'oeil perspective decoration, an orangery whose open shutters give a glimpse of a wooded landscape in the distance, a perspective accentuated by the checkerboard paving, also present on the leaves. Eight boxes of fruit trees are spread around a table on which are placed two flowered vases and under which is a watering can. The interior reveals six side drawers in three rows, inlaid with a floral vase pattern, as well as a central drawer. Stamped TOPINO and hallmark of Jurande Charles TOPINO received master in 1773 The art of marquetry The bronzes are discreet on our desk and this is intended to give pride of place to marquetry, qualified as wooden painting. If it is possible and tempting - rightly to link a cabinetmaker to his marquetry and this is regularly the case for Topino whose utensil marquetry inspired by the borders of Chinese Coromandel lacquer screens of the time is a characteristic of the artist - it turns out that the models circulated and that inlaid panels could be used by the same circle of cabinetmakers. If the vases, potiches, flowers, utensils reproduced, invented, associated, allow us to recognize Topino's art, it should be noted that the framing motif made up of oval reserves with quartefeuilles and spandrels can be found on secretaries, a chest of drawers and a dressing table stamped Jacques Bircklé. By this same cabinetmaker, a secretary also presents the same vases present on our furniture. Very similar marquetry panels. both in their compositions and in their frames can be found on a chest of drawers attributed to Jacques Bircklé, illustrated in the book by Pierre Kjellberg, who also defines the paving pattern as Bircklé's "almost exclusiveness". our secretary thus witnessed the circulation of drawn or engraved models -
