About the Item
Lovely and small liqueur cellar in blackened wood with inlaid brass threads on four pretty ball-shaped feet, completely restored, in the rules of the art, by the TWS Workshops (Calais).

The liquor cellar is a small piece of furniture of extreme refinement, full of ingenuity. In the middle of the 19th century, the success of liqueurs and the evolution of conviviality led cabinetmakers to launch a small piece of furniture that was moved.
A sort of box with walls that open to make an elegant display. The wooden liquor cellar, which is usually locked with a key, remains a French specialty and the advent of the liberal upper middle class made it an essential object, to the point of becoming the typical wedding gift of the French family.
Quickly, the aristocratic and financial elite, at the origin of the proliferation of decorative objects, exploded the demand for liquor cellars.
The richest families had their monograms and, sometimes, their coat of arms engraved on the central badge.
This rapid success led to a proliferation of models.
New shapes appeared and we discovered round, oval, multi-lobed or octagonal liquor cabinets.
At the same time, the abolition of the corporations allowed the tabletiers to extend their activities to cabinetmaking and encouraged the best craftsmen to produce furniture and boxes, including liquor cellars, true witnesses of a French art of living, counting well. few equivalents abroad.

- Boulle Work Table, Stamped: L.Gradé & Pelcot, Period: 19th CenturyBy GradéLocated in CRÉTEIL, FRIn the 19th century, under the reign of Napoleon III (1852/1870) in particular, marquetry was rediscovered. We copy the styles of previous centuries; so we make a lot of Boulle style furniture. The richness and the quality of the materials are the same but the execution benefits from technical progress: the quality of the furniture of the end of the XIX is superior to that of their ancestors. Here is a rare work table in gilded brass marquetry on a blackened and lacquered pear tree background. Its lively scalloped top, surrounded by an ingot mold, is adorned with a cartouche opening onto a rosewood interior with a vanity mirror and a belt drawer. In the lower part, a hopper drawer remains invisible below. Its feet are curved with ornamentation in chiseled and gilded bronze. Period: Second half of the 19th century. Dimensions: H: 72 x W: 63 x D: 43cm. Stamped: L.Gradé & Pelcot, A work table, also called a worker, it is a small light table whose top is surrounded by a high border to prevent falling objects. The work table or worker is a small table that can be recognized by its removable flat or rounded top containing storage. This table with or without crotch shelf sometimes has a sliding book box under the belt. Louis Gradé...Category

- Pair of Gilt Bronze Candlesticks Attributed to F.Barbedienne Period 19th CenturyBy Ferdinand BarbedienneLocated in CRÉTEIL, FRLovely pair of gilt bronze candlesticks, attributed to Ferdinand Barbedienne. The tripod base in the shape of lions' paws is surmounted by a collar formed of aquatic vegetation where a salamander wanders. On the fluted, elegant and straight was another salamander hastens to find its congener. The shoulder supporting the four light arms in the shape of an oil lamp is highlighted by three African elephant heads. The sockets are original and removable. A magnificent fantastic creature, guardian of this royal and symbolic fauna, half man, half animal, serving as an extinguisher, comes to magnify the whole of this sublime achievement of quality in all respects. Period: Late 19th century Dimensions: Total height: 55.5cm x width: 16cm The elephant is often seen as a symbol of strength and power. Being a large and magnificent animal, it is quite logically considered a powerful and majestic creature. His way of life, dependent on the herd, is at the origin of deep relational bonds based on loyalty, which develop the power and the will to defend others. The salamander had an amazing reputation for walking through flames. This alleged power has earned him, among other things, to be a royal symbol. With this exceptional power, the salamander was chosen by one of our most flamboyant kings, François 1er...Category
