SoldLouis XVI period, by the French cabinetmaker Jean Chrysostome Stumpff (master from 1766), circa 1775, stamped, softwood body, veneered with rosewood and amaranth as well as with various partially coloured precious woods, marquetry in pattern themes typical of this cabinetmaker, polished in traditional craftsmanship, 2 doors, 1 drawer and writing flap on the front, interior with 6 inner drawers, open compartments and two gold-decorated cartoniers, gilded chiselled bronze mounts, 139 x 97 x 98 cm, beautiful, perfectly restored condition.
This type of “Trompe-Oeil” marquetry, a combination of cube and diamond patterns, can be found on chests of drawers and desks as well as on secretaries by Jean Chrysostome Stump. This three-dimensional pattern, most probably invented by Stump himself, became such a success that other renowned ebenists such as Roger Vandercruse, Pierre Roussel and Jean George Schlichtig also used it on their furniture. Two almost identical secretaries are illustrated in Pierre Kjellberg’s reference book “Le Mobilier francais du XVIII siecle”, 1998 edition, as works by Jean Chrysostome Stump (page 827) and Jean Georges Schlichtig (page 791).

Pierre Garnier, (1720-1800), became a master in 1742 at the age of 22 and a member of the Parisian “Jurande des Ebenistes”. His work illustrates the evolution of all styles in France in the XVIII century, beginning with the early Louis XV period, through the Transition and Louis XVI, to the Directoire, the period of the Great French Revolution. In the “L’ Almanach général des Marchands du Royaume”, Garnier is cited as one of the most important ebenists of the XVIII century, alongside Oeben, Riesener, Weisweiler and Leleu. He is regarded as one of the inventors of the “style à la grecque”, which heralded the beginning of classicism. In the “Petites Affiches” of 1800 – in his obituary – he is described as someone who for 50 years produced a quality that makes any praise superfluous. In addition to the royal family, he supplied the entire aristocracy. His works can be admired in the Louvre, Musée Jacquemart-André, South Kensington Museum and Metropolitan Museum of Arts, among others.
