Small Curved Corner Cabinet 18 Eme Stamped Schwingkens

Shallow, and it is a feat to produce this type of furniture in this dimension, 30 cm per side, this corner is however with two curved doors. Inlaid with rosewood, it is from the 18th century and stamped "SCHWING KENS" JME, for Guillaume Schwingkens, cabinetmaker of German origin, who came to Paris at the time of the Regency, probably in the 1720s, and obtained his letters from mastery, probably at the beginning of the reign of Louis XV. He settled in rue du Faubourg Saint Antoine then, around 1745, rue de Charonne. Beautiful locks and hinges, marble top, molded and fretted border, replaced. The interior of the doors is also inlaid. A door is veiled. Nice collectible piece of furniture. the sculpture, a holy figure in wood, positioned to the left of the corner, is part of a separate lot and is not included in the price.
