EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning piece of furniture known as the "Secretaire a abattant" created by Martin Carlin, a renowned French master craftsman. Born in Germany around 1730 and active until his death in 1785, Carlin achieved mastery in 1766. The circular plaque adorning this exquisite secretary was painted by Jean-Jacques Pierre le jeune, an accomplished artist from France who flourished between approximately 1745 and 1800. The two frieze plaques and two spandrel plaques were skillfully painted by Claude Couturier, an artist who worked from 1762 to his untimely demise in 1775. Meanwhile, the central frieze plaque was gilded by Etienne-Henri Le Guay, a talented French artisan active during various periods between 1719/1720 and about 1799. Crafted at the Sevres Manufactory in Sevres, France around the year 1775, this remarkable piece is made of oak veneer with ebony accents. It also features holly wood stained with vibrant colors like amaranth and tulipwood. The intricate design incorporates colored mastics that have been incised into the surface alongside soft-paste porcelain plaques adorned with bleu celeste ground coloration. Polychrome enamel work adds further depth to its visual appeal while gilt-bronze mounts provide elegant finishing touches. Topped off with a pristine white marble surface, this Secretaire a abattant stands at an impressive height of approximately120 cm (3 ft. 11¼in. ), measuring94 cm wide (3 ft. 1in. ) and34 cm deep (1ft. , 1¼in. ). Its artistic beauty truly exemplifies the exceptional craftsmanship for which both Martin Carlin and the Sevres Manufactory are celebrated throughout history.
