EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Desk of Louis XV, a true masterpiece of French furniture design. Crafted in the transitional style between Louis XV and XVI, this cylinder desk is a testament to the skill and artistry of its creators, Jean-Francois Oeben and Jean Henri Riesener. Originally designed by Oeben, the master cabinet maker of the French royal arsenal, this magnificent piece was completed by his successor Riesener in 1769. The intricate marquetry work adorning its wooden surface reflects the opulence and grandeur associated with royalty during the 18th century. The photograph captures every ornate detail of this remarkable desk, from its rich color palette to its decorative elements. It transports us back in time to an era when craftsmanship reigned supreme and furniture was not just functional but also a symbol of status and power. Displayed within The Louvre museum in Paris since 1911-1912, this iconic piece continues to captivate visitors with its elegance and historical significance. Through Edwin Foley's lens, we are granted a glimpse into this regal world where kings like Louis XV ruled over France. As we admire this photo print, let us appreciate not only the beauty of the Desk of Louis XV but also acknowledge those who brought it to life - Oeben and Riesener - whose mastery has left an indelible mark on French artistic heritage.
