Napoleon III Boulle ceremonial cabinet signed BEFORT Jeune

Louis XIV style ceremonial cabinet with 1 door, ebony veneer and brass marquetry on brown tortoiseshell on the uprights & the door. Magnificent gilt bronzes featuring the mouldings & motifs dear to the house of BEFORT, such as the spandrels, the acanthus-leaf chutes, the cornice corners & the lingotière mouldings on the base, cut at the uprights: a superb medallion depicting a scene in the taste of Clodion adorns the centre of the door. Ebonized interior with 1 shelf, working key. Black marble top

A referenced model from the house of BEFORT Jeune, generous proportions for a single-door cabinet
