Item Overview

Description

BUREAU PLAT À TOUTES FACES
Par Jean-François LELEU (1729-1807)
Reçu Maître Ebéniste en 1764
Paris, époque Louis XV
Matériaux
Bâti de chêne, placage de palissandre, cuir et bronzes dorés
Bronzes au « C couronné «
Estampillé
H. 79 cm, L. 176 cm, P. 87 cm

Ce bureau plat à toutes faces à dessus brisé s’orne d’un placage de palissandre en frisage souligné par une riche ornementation de bronzes dorés composé de chutes d’angles feuillagées et déchiquetées prolongées par des sabots, des entrées de serrure, mascarons et feuillages rocailles en ceinture. Il ouvre par trois tiroirs auxquels répondent sur la face opposée trois autres simulés.
Le dessus, tendu de cuir est souligné d’une baguette en bronze scandée aux angles de coquilles.
Pureté et élégance tant de la forme que l’ornementation caractérisent bien l’oeuvre de cet ébéniste hors pair dont l’essentiel de la production évoque le style néoclassique destinée non pas à la Cour mais à une riche clientèle d’amateurs. Apprenti de Jean-François Oeben auprès de qui il développa le goût pour la maîtrise des formes et des placages, Leleu n’a laissé que très peu de meubles du style Louis XV. Ce bureau fait partie des rares exemplaires du maître dont la carrière explosa sous le règne suivant. Il atteint cependant
déjà une très grande qualité dans l’exécution de la structure, dans le traitement des essences des bois et dans l’utilisation habile des bronzes.
