EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Late Louis XVI ormolu and cameo-mounted burr yew wood and mahogany table travailleuse. Crafted by the renowned artist Weisweiler, this exquisite piece measures 81x66x38.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Believed to have been commissioned by Dominique Daguerre, the table features an upper tier with a hinged fall-front. Each tier is adorned with ebony and citronnier bands along the upper edge, while the interior is lined with ebony. Wax cameos of putti and Classical scenes are delicately inset within gold surrounds beneath domed glass on each tier. The table stands on baluster and spirally-reeded supports that are separated by bas-relief panels, adding to its ornate beauty. Toupie feet and castors provide both stability and mobility to this remarkable piece of furniture. A stamp bearing A. WEISWEILER's name confirms his authorship of this masterpiece. The attention to detail in every aspect of its design reflects Weisweiler's exceptional craftsmanship. Capturing the essence of French elegance during the late 18th century, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the intricate artistry but also the historical significance behind such luxurious furniture pieces. It serves as a testament to Weisweiler's talent as well as Dominique Daguerre's refined taste in commissioning such extraordinary works of art for their personal enjoyment or display.
