Beautiful early 19th-century liqueur or whisky cellar. Comprising 6 Le Creusot crystal bottles, it is housed in an elm burl veneered case with a brass escutcheon and no monogram. The interior is sheathed in red morocco gilded with small irons. Each decanter is numbered with its stopper, and has its own dedicated slot in the box, allowing you to draw up a map of the spirits presented, like several whiskies or Cognacs, while knowing how to identify each one, even in the absence of a label.
This work dates from the end of the Empire or the beginning of the Restoration, between 1812 and 1820.
With the continental blockade against England making mahogany scarce, the Emperor instructed Imperial furniture and the Emperor's household to use French woods in cabinetmaking. As a result, all cabinetwork for the Palais de Meudon and the Pavillon des Enfants de France, entrusted to Maigret in 1811 and 1812, was made partly in gilded or painted wood, partly in French woods such as walnut, ash, maple and elm, like our chest of drawers. As the use of these woods became more widespread under the Restoration, there is often a tendency to post-date furniture and objects created under the Empire, such as this chest.
The set is in excellent condition.
