In 1685, the master cabinetmaker Alexandre-Jean Oppenordt received a commission from Louis XIV for 2 desks for his small rooms, which were situated behind the Hall of Mirrors. The desks were sumptuously finished with première partie marquetry, brass plaques, red tortoiseshell, and monograms of the King’s ciphers. One of these magnificent desks now stands on show at The Met, whilst the other, after passing through various fabulous hands in Europe, was repatriated back to France, being having been classified as a National Treasure. After a long and careful restoration, the desk today proudly stands in the Salon de l’Abondance, back home in Versailles.

Finally the finished shots of the dining room project for @katiaperezdesign . This walnut sideboard has been fitted along one wall of the dining room. We’ve housed it within an alcove and have created a bulkhead to hide a steel beam. Remote controlled LED lighting has been recessed across the entire width of the unit. Towards the garden end of the room, we’ve built a bench seat to match, with storage space within. Great care and thought has gone into grain and panel selection of the walnut to ensure book matching of doors and side panels. The seat will have an upholstered cushion on the top and back for extra comfort. The sideboard is being templated for its stone top next week. We will post further pics once the room has been re carpeted and the new dining table installed.

Besides plugging in and adjusting the humidifier when the humidity inevitably drops in a few weeks time, the Showcase Cabinet is complete. Cherry throughout with Spanish Cedar air duct. The door pulls and inlays are ebony. The hinges are by Brusso and the finish is oil and wax. This was a fun and challenging project to make but I’m extremely happy with the results. Glass panels on round doors added with the fact that there’s a humidifier in the lower cabinet. All good stuff!

The reception room at Rundāle Palace, the 18th century baroque residence of the Dukes of Courland, Latvia. The grand room includes frescoes of Venus and her beloved Adonis. To the left of the room stands the most beautiful black lacquer commode made by the cabinet maker to the French Court, Jean Henri Riesener. This extraordinary commode is said to be the most valuable piece of furniture in the museum’s vast collection.
