This handsome and highly important Scagliola
marble
and ormolu enriched
sideboard and its accompanying pedestals attributed to S. Jamar is
exactly the type of work demanded by wealthy and important clients to
decorate their houses. It draws its inspiration from the classical world,
with numerous motifs making reference to poetry, literature and to
learning, but also from France and the grandeur of Louis Quatorze's court
at Versailles. In particular, its robust architecture corresponds to that
of a pillar-fronted bookcase bearing the brand of S. Jamar, who traded as
a 'French cabinet maker' in London's Wardour Street and claimed in 1818
that much of his furniture, bronze-enriched in the French manner, was
'equal to any made in Paris.' English, Circa 1810. Piece is 8 inches is
length. Flowers are made and designed by Marty Stark. Please click on picture to enjoy enlarge photo.
