專家說明

With its characteristic 'naïve' marquetry of writing instruments, utensils and flowering vases inspired by the decoration of Chinese lacquer screens, this bonheur-du-jour is characteristic of the oeuvre of specialist marqueteur Charles Topino (maître in 1773) and fellow ébénistes such as Pierre Pioniez and Pierre-Harry Mewesen. A related model with naïve marquetry, 'Un petit secrétaire de bois de rose représentant des paniers de fleurs, fruits, theyers et tasses façon de la Chine...' was delivered in 1774 by the ébéniste du Roi Gilles Joubert (d. 1775) to the Garde Meuble for the use of the comte d'Artois at Compiègne (A. Pradère, French Furniture Makers, Paris, 1989, p. 320). S.Barbier Sainte Marie illustrates a closely related bonheur-du-jour in Charles Topino, Paris, 2005, p.65, fig 29.
