Napoleon III Boulle ceremonial cabinet signed BEFORT Jeune

Louis XIV style ceremonial cabinet, ebonized wood and Boulle style marquetry in brass across the full door and on the uprights: the detail is of truly rare quality; gilt bronze ornaments featuring all the codes of the house of BEFORT, such as the spandrels, the fragmented lingotière mouldings, the angular cornice with its draped corners, thick acanthus-leaf chutes…
A ceremonial cabinet, so no marble but an ebonized veneer top with brass fillets, mahogany interior with 1 shelf

An exceptional piece, like its signature; truly a very fine piece
