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 -

Vincenzo Raffaelli (Rome, 1783-1865) Round table, circa 1835-1845 Various coloured pebbles and marbles Tabletop: ⌀ 91.2 cm - 5.2 cm Vincenzo Raffaelli Rome, Via del Babuino 93 Performed between 1835 and 1845 ca. Round top in coloured marbles 'pebble' samples 200 ca. The round top in coloured marble that we are dealing with, is a real 'pebble' sample made of ancient 'excavation' marble and modern marble, that is, used after the sixteenth century such as Malachite, Portoro or Napoleonic Orbicular Granite etc. The particularity and rarity of this table is given by the fact that the samples of marbles used, in addition to being rare then (and even more so today), were worked differently from all the other types of samples that were made between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The sample tables of this period generally have a frame in black marble from Belgium or other fine marbles, which contains all the rare colored samples committed.
