Exceptionally Fine Pair of French Second Empire Boulle Revival Card-tables

19th century
Description

An exceptionally fine pair of French Second Empire (Napoleon III) Boulle Revival card-tables; the hinged and swivelling tops of elaborate serpentine form, enclosing a shaped baize-lined playing surface within broad ebony borders inlaid with cut-brass.  The exteriors richly veneered on all surfaces with panels of engraved cut-brass premiere and contra partie arabesque scrollwork on red-foiled tortoiseshell (turtle) grounds, and further applied with gilt-brass borders, bearded masks and foliate mounts on the boldly-shaped cabriole legs.  This fine pair of tables, which would have been described a ‘Buhl’ when made, are classic examples of the mid nineteenth century fascination for the ‘ancien regime’. 

John Beazor Antiques is a family firm, established in 1875 and based in Cambridge since 1940. We are a traditional antiques shop, but very much in the 21st century. We deal in 18th and early 19th century furniture, barometers and clocks. We choose our stock for its originality and for the quality of its colour, patination and design.

We are members of the BADA. We do not exhibit at fairs preferring to deal from our Cambridge shop where we hold an Open Weekend every November.
