The Rare Louis XV Ormolu-Mounted Tulipwood and Chinese Lacquer Cabinet, crafted circa 1750 during the Régence period in France, measures 215.9 cm wide, 45.72 cm deep, and 180.34 cm high, presenting a monumental and one-of-a-kind piece of 18th-century artistry. This magnificent cabinet is painted throughout with gilt and polychrome Chinese lacquer, featuring elegant French bronze mounts and three original gilt-bronze keys with original shelves. The combination of tulipwood and ormolu enhances its opulent Louis XV style, reflecting the refined cabinetmaking of the period, where Eastern influences met French craftsmanship in a harmonious blend of luxury and sophistication.
Acquired from Kugel, Paris, in October 2008, this cabinet has been referenced by The Metropolitan Museum of Art as an inspiration for Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel evening coat (Fall/Winter 1996-1997 Haute Couture). In good condition with scattered nicks, faint marks, and craquelure on the lacquer panels, it remains ready to place, offering a collector’s gem for modern interiors seeking a piece of historical grandeur and cultural significance.
