Louis XV console sideboard

A rare all-sided curved rosewood veneered marble inset side table opening with two side panels topped by corner drawers on pivots.
It is similar to the rare Louis XV period “desserte” tables and to certain “encas” tables (or “en-cas” tables, which could almost be called “desserte en commode” because of their wig-like appearance with the drawer removed), veneered on the outside and inside with quartefeuille and diamond points on an oak frame and topped with Brocatelle violette du Jura marble.
Beautifully streamlined, with refined curves on the front and sides.
Excellent condition.
Parisian work in the Louis XV style.

Note: It has often been said that if copies have no soul, fakes often have personality and sometimes even genius, and it is indisputable that this piece of furniture in the Dubois or Oeben taste is absolutely charming.
It bears the stamp (which we believe to be apocryphal) of Louis Dubois, as well as the mark of the Paris Jurande.
Some connoisseurs, having seen it on the quays only a few years ago, may be surprised by our expertise, since it was then given for :
“Console sideboard stamped L. Dubois. Parisian work, Louis XV period, circa 1755 -1760. Stamped L. Dubois and JME on the right rear upright for Louis Dubois, received master in 1754. “.
As we know from experience, the provincial dealer owes a certain humility (ouh là là!) to the dealer from the left bank square (and even more so if the latter belongs to a chamber of experts...ouh là là.... là là), so we have to assume that our buyer will make a superb bargain at this price, and all the more so as a few years ago we had already advertised for fake a piece of furniture of the same workmanship (but in a jardinière) from a Galerie on the same quay, located just - funnily enough, dare we say it - two numbers away from the first one. Be that as it may, at 3,000 euros our buyer had no complaints, all the more so as our seller had paid 15,000.
