Bonheur-du-jour Stamped Pierre Mantel, Second Half Of The 18th Century

The cabinetmaker Pierre Mantel (died in May 1802) was received as a master in 1766. He established himself on rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine, then on rue de Charenton and finally on rue Saint-Antoine, three major centres of cabinetmaking under the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI. He shone as much in the Transition style as in the style of the last sovereign of the 18th century. Although the art of this period owes more to the taste of Marie-Antoinette than to that of her husband, the misnamed Louis XVI style is admirably mastered here.
All in mahogany, rosewood, amaranth and rosewood marquetry with fine ebony and boxwood fillets, our happiness-stamped Pierre Mantel uses all the species then in fashion. The golden gallery running along the white Carrara marble top is also a novelty of this delicate style. The wide glass case opening to two leaves closes with a key in a lock decorated with ribbon bows. In the belt, a row of dovetailed drawers opens only if you take the trouble to pull out the black leather and gilded writing case. A precaution that dissuades the curious. A large drawer opens in the belt, under the writing desk, and connects the piece of furniture to feet of square section set in shoes of the same shape. The whole is in very good condition.
