EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases one of a pair of cabinets that are truly a sight to behold. Mounted with late 17th-century pietra dura plaques, these cabinets were crafted around 1785 by the skilled hands of Weisweiler, Adam. Made from oak, pine, and beech veneered with ebony and mahogany, they exude an air of elegance and sophistication. The exquisite pietra dure plaques and micromosaic roundels adorning these cabinets were likely created by Italian craftsmen working in Paris during the late 17th century. A century later, they found their place within these magnificent pieces of furniture. The cabinets feature pewter stringing, gilt-bronze mounts, and portor d'Italie marble tops which add to their opulence. With dimensions measuring at 101.6x150.2x53 cm, this pair of cabinets is currently housed in the prestigious J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA. Their intricate design reflects both French and Italian influences from the Ancien Régime era while embracing neoclassical elements. This remarkable photograph captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind these stunning cabinets. It serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating such extraordinary pieces during this period in history – an embodiment of decorative luxury fit for Louis XVI himself.
