A Fine Louis XVI Style Gilt-Bronze Mounted Mahogany Vitrine, by Alfred Louis Beurdeley.
French, Circa 1880.
Stamped to the carcass ‘A. Beurdeley à Paris’.
This fine mahogany vitrine has a gilt-bronze galleried top above a glazed square section cabinet with canted uprights and glass door and sides, opening to a mirrored interior with three adjustable shelves. The upper section is supported on a base with fluted tapering legs united by an ‘x’-shaped stretcher centred by a gilt-bronze basket.
The Beurdeley family were a flourishing dynasty of three generations of fine quality cabinetmakers working from 1818 to 1895. The firm was particularly well known for its exceptional metalwork, most commonly basing their designs on important eighteenth century examples. Their mercurial gilding and hand chasing are often of such a high standard that it is difficult to distinguish them from late eighteenth century work.
