- An Exquisite and Rare French Louis XVI Style Ormolu-Mounted Bloodstone InkwellLocated in New York, NYAn Exquisite and Rare French Louis XVI Style Ormolu-Mounted Bloodstone Inkwell, circa 1875. A truly exceptional and jewel like quality inkwell encrier, made with the finest ormolu, mounted on bloodstone. A true collectors and one of a kind piece. Revival of the ancient régime in the late 19th century was paramount to the French furniture and bronze casting firms of the Belle Epoque. Imitation in the highest regard and replication of those tastes and styles was prevalent throughout the Paris Faubourg, where the most talented bronziers and ébénistes established their workshops. The present inkwell encrier recalls the late 18th century's obsession with hardstones - a taste expounded above all by the duc d'Aumont and, subsequently Marie-Antoinette. Such hardstone-mounted pieces, reminiscent of Renaissance schatzkammer objects, enjoyed a revived popularity at the end of the 18th century through the impetus of both the marchands-mercier and, more importantly, the hôtel des Menus-Plaisirs, where the duc d'Aumont himself established a workshop in 1770 specializing in the cutting and polishing of precious hardstones. This exceptional inkwell encrier, sumptuously-mounted with finely chased gilt-bronzes, incorporates a highly-prized material such as bloodstone. Sometimes called the Sunstone, the meaning of Bloodstone comes entangled in fascinating history. The Ancient Greeks held the Bloodstone as a gem with glorious powers. They referred to it as Heliotrope, which directly translates to Sunstone. It was believed to have heavenly healing powers gifted by the gods and most certainly when it came to healing all things related to the blood. Even as we move forward into the Middle Ages, the Bloodstone takes another mystical story under its wing. It was believed to be formed from Christ's blood. It was said that during the Crucifixion, a few red spots of his blood dripped...Category

- Extremely Fine Italian Baroque Ebonized Wood, Faux Ivory, and Hardstone CabinetLocated in New York, NYExtremely fine Italian Baroque ebonized wood, faux ivory, and hardstone cabinet, Florence, 20th century. Decorated overall with Berainesque (light arabesques and playful grotesques) motifs including rinceaux, putti and mythical birds, and inlaid with various semi-precious stones including lapus lazuli, porphyry, various agates and marbles, the superstructure with domed pediment, the sides decorated with geometric stringing. Very grand cabinet and one of a kind. Please note: We have another cabinet to make a pair. Provenance: Private Castle in Dallas Texas, USA. Purchased in New York in the late 1970s. Measures: 91" high x 68" wide x 20" deep. Comes with keys. Good condition. Normal wear, cracks consistent with age use. Presents well and looks amazing in real life! The present cabinet, featuring an abundance of semi-precious stones amongst stylized faux ivory-inlaid foliage, is inspired by the luxurious inlaid furniture of the Italian High Renaissance. Promoted amongst craftsmen such as Pietro Bertinetti, who often reinterpreted or combined the forms and motifs of both Classical and Renaissance art, the fashion for certosa-style inlay flourished from the mid-nineteenth century. Whilst the quality of construction and execution of the inlay suggests a Florentine origin, the decorative language of the cabinet, with its Cinquecento rinceaux scrolls, amorini and cameos, is modelled on the North Italian workshops. Featuring an eclectic combination of various decorative elements in keeping with the Renaissance Revival, the cabinet’s inlay is quite comparable with the work of subsequent exponents of this technique, such as Giovanni Battista Gatti...Category
