EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning piece of furniture known as the "Petit secretaire a abattant" created around 1860 by Edward Holmes Baldock. Crafted with meticulous detail, this exquisite cabinet is made from ormolu with kingwood, tulipwood, and amaranth marquetry. The design of this petit secretaire was inspired by Jean-Francois Dubut's model. Its elegant features include a shaped rouge griotte marble top, a frieze drawer, and a spreading pediment with beautifully shaped sides adorned with acanthus-cast clasps. The upper half reveals a fall-front intricately inlaid with delicate flowers and opens to reveal a leather-lined writing surface. Further exploration inside unveils an open compartment above three spacious drawers and two small side drawers. The lower part of the cabinet houses a cupboard door that encloses a single shelf for additional storage space. All these elements rest gracefully on acanthus-cast scrolled feet. Stamped EHB (Edward Holmes Baldock) and three times DUVEEN LONDON (referring to its provenance), this remarkable piece exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship from the era it was created in. Captured in this photograph by eChristies Images, this fine art print allows us to appreciate the intricate marquetry work and impeccable design details of this Petit secretaire à abattant—a true testament to the beauty found within antique furniture masterpieces like these.
