Cabinet Louis XIV en corne teintée à l'imitation de l'écaille, incrustations d'ivoire et ébène, en partie de la fin du XVIIe siècle, dans le goût de Pierre GoleA Louis XIV ivory-inlaid red-stained horn simulating tortoiseshell cabinet-on-stand, part late 17th century, in the manner of Pierre GoleOf rectangular form, overall inlaid with geometric outlines, the outer borders and edges of the drawers inlaid with ivory and ebony mouldings, with twelve drawers and a pair of cupboard doors enclosing an architectural interior fitted with nine variously sized drawers and a balustraded interior with checker floor, the stand with faceted legs joined by a box stretcher, on shaped ball feet, some losses to veneer, especially to the stand, 97cm wide, 37.5cm deep, 144cm high (38in wide, 14 1/2in deep, 56 1/2in high). Footnotes:Provenance:Property from a Royal CollectionThis cabinet-on-stand overall inlaid with red-stained horn simulating tortoiseshell and contrasting ivory is related to the work of the celebrated Louis XIV ébéniste Pierre Gole working alongside André-Charles Boulle. With a high visual impact, the modernistic façade with its geometric inlay is particularly attractive, but slightly differs from Gole's oeuvre which often incorporates floral marquetry, pewter and brass inlays, mother-of-pearl and rich ormolu mounts in its cabinets. Furthermore, the inventory after Gole's death lists only thirteen cabinets in his atelier from two hundred finished other lots. These cabinets were elaborate and expensive, making them difficult to sell. Our cabinet-on-stand must have been executed by an ébéniste close to or in the circle of Pierre Gole as there was a high demand for these masterpieces with innovative features and striking looks.Ce lot est soumis aux restrictions de la CITES. En cas d'exportation hors de l'Union Européenne, des formalités devront être réalisées et seront sous la responsabilité de l'acheteur.

Carlo Cusani for the Marchese Orso Serra, during the refurbishing of Villa Serra in Comago, near Genoa;Private Italian collectionGrohé, Le Maître incontesté de l'Ebénisterie ModerneThe firm Grohe Frères was established by Guilaume Grohé (1808-1885) and his brother Jean-Michel Grohé (b.1804). Both arrived together in Paris in 1827 from Winthersheim (Hesse-Darmstadt) and soon became ouvriers-ébénistes. They decided to join forces on 15 April 1847, and produced since then under the label of 'Grohé Frères'. They exhibited at the major exhibitions throughout the 19th century and supplied furniture to the French Royal households at Tuileries, Saint-Cloud and Fontainebleau, and Queen Victoria for Windsor castle. Grohé excellence was recognised by multiple prizes received in the expositions, and reviews of the time praised their achievements, as this review in the January 1884 Le Figaro: '..digne continuateur de Boulle, Gouthière et des Riesener [...]. Il a assuré la prépondérance du goût français dans l'ameublement de luxe et les modèles que son beau talent a créés assurent pour longtemps à notre pays cette glorieuse suprématie artistique'. Following Guillaume's retirement in 1861, the younger brother Jean-Michel managed the business until 1884.Note on the provenance:Marchese Carlo Cusani The Ligurian Villa Serra in Comago near Genoa was acquired by Marchese Orso Serra in 1850, who decided to entirely remodel the original 18th century Villa formerly called Villa Pinelli, into a fashionable neo-Gothic property. In order to do this, he commissioned the brilliant Genoese industrialist, architect and painter Marchese Carlo Cusani to redesign the Villa in the latest fashion and to add a Tudor style cottage. The works started in 1851 after an inspirational trip to London where both went to study the latest trends and probably acquire suitable furnishing for the Villa. The works lasted 10 years.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: WW Lot is located in the Bonhams Warehouse and will only be available for collection from this location.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
