?Sideboard in marquetry with two bodies, attributed to Tomas Hache around 1690.
Rare and luxurious sideboard with two bodies separated by a central belt.
It opens with two leaves in the upper part, two leaves in the lower part, and two drawers in the middle part.
The upper part uncovers a shelf and two drawers in walnut, and the lower part a central shelf.
The whole piece of furniture is decorated with a very dense and particularly fine floral marquetry in various kinds of wood - walnut, olive, plum, holly, ash, tinted and engraved sycamore maple, all enriched with Jasmine flowers made in bone.
The front panels are centered with octagonal reserves with facets, which are decorated with bouquets of flowers (tulips, carnations, hibiscus, roses ...) inspired by the compositions of Jean Baptiste Monnoyer (1636-1699), and supported by scrolls and entablatures inspired by engravings by Jean Berain (1640-1711).
These central panels are framed by geometric reserves with flowers au naturel.
The sides present similar bouquets, in rectangular reserves, but resting on columns in the antique style.
The drawers and the top rail are decorated with polychrome flower scrolls.
The reverse side of the doors has a maple veneer.
Very good condition, with small restorations of use.
Fir wood core (sides, bottom, and top); drawer bottoms and backs in oak, and cremone locks replaced around 1830*.
Work attributable to Thomas Hache, circa 1690.
