Here is a stunning quality antique Louis XVI revival mahogany writing / sewing table, circa 1870, in excellent condition, made by the renowned cabinetmaker in France, Alphonse Tahan (master cabinet maker to Emperor Napoleon III and his wife, the Empress Eugénie). The top features a top quality green gilt tool inset leather, flanked by a brass gallery. The lift-up lid opens up to reveal a central mirror edged in decorative brass beading on the underside of the lid. The internal lock is stamped ‘Tahan – Rue de la Paix 30’ and boasts its original working key. Two brass hinges support the lid to the left hand side is an adjustable brass locking stay, allowing you to alter the angle of the mirror to suit your needs. Below, is a detachable mahogany tray incorporating several compartments. Further below, is a single pullout-sewing drawer, which includes further brass ormolu gilt decoration. The table is supported by slender cabriole legs, with stunning brass ormolu detail to the knees, edged in decorative beading, and terminates on ornate brass toe caps. This table displays profuse ormolu detail throughout even the brass locking plates are etched with decorative inscribed detail.
The table features a dark brown mahogany colour (similar to an ebony colour). As it boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour and patination this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
This truly is a beautiful and rare item, with exquisite detail and quality construction. It is rare to see one in such good condition. This item would look lovely in a variety of rooms from the hallway, office or bedroom. This item would certainly grace any home. So don't miss out your chance to own a piece of history.
Provenance:
This exquisite piece illustrates all the signs of the superb quality and fine craftsmanship of Tahan's workshop. Alphonse Tahan (1830-1880) was the official ébéniste de l'Empereur or master cabinetmaker to Emperor Napoleon III and his wife, the Empress Eugénie. Known for her beauty and impeccable taste, Empress Eugénie enjoyed a reputation as a trendsetter and favoured the workshop Tahan. Tahan also produced pieces for the wealthy and elite class in French society. Tahan Fabricant was located at 30 Rue de La Paix from 1849 and subsequently from 1878 at Boulevard des Italiens. His work was exhibited at “The Great Exhibition”, The London Crystal Palace Exhibition in 1851 and the Paris Exposition, Universelle in 1855, and on both occasions was awarded medals. His work can be viewed in the Victoria Albert Museum in London today. His work exhibits such quality and is in high demand by collectors and enthusiasts alike it exhibited classical design and he only used the finest and costliest materials. Not only did he produce antique furniture, but also beautiful wooden boxes and fine bronze antique jewellery caskets.
