Weekly secretary in solid mahogany and mahogany veneer stamped Louis Noël Malle and bearing the JME jurande mark.
In the belt, this piece of furniture has a narrow drawer with a central knockout part and a beautiful Louis XVI entrance in bronze, accompanied by its key. Below, we find a flap simulating 3 identical drawers on the front. Like all the drawer fronts of this secretary, their edges are mitred. Below, the piece of furniture is equipped with a new drawer and finally a last one, very roomy, whose front simulates two. All locks are original and in working order, the entrances are chiseled and the rear keys are adjusted.
This weekly organizer is equipped with cut-out uprights made up of three fixed grooves. The raised lower part highlights smooth feet.
The sides of this piece of furniture have a small panel placed horizontally at the top, then two vertical panels. They are separated by crosspieces.
The cover of the weekly organizer is held using original iron and brass hooks. The interior part corresponds to Louis XVI period manufacturing. It is made up of two drawers giving the impression of four thanks to the strips. These drawers feature “lens” knobs. As well as interior storage space.
The flap has a miter-cut mahogany frame, surrounding a soft green leather with cold stamp, gold stamp and a refined pattern in the center.
Finally, this piece of furniture by Louis Noël Malle is topped with original Belgian Sainte Anne gray marble.
The bottoms, sides and backs of the drawers and the structure of this piece of furniture are made of oak. This one also has dust covers.
Louis Noel Malle
Notable cabinetmaker, born in 1733, died in Paris on February 27, 1782. After registering his master's degrees on November 18, 1765, he settled on Grande rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, where his establishment included a very active workshop and a cabinet shop run by his wife. The National Furniture preserves a chest of drawers decorated with draperies and vases.
The Jurande of Carpenters and Cabinetmakers (JME)
The Jurande des Menuisiers Ébénistes (JME) is a community of artisans responsible for controlling the work of the Parisian artisans of this corporation. It will be effective during the second half of the 18th century (from 1751 to 1789). It was also responsible for persecuting workers and workshops working outside the corporation.
Once the work of the craftsman or cabinetmaker was validated, the jurors affixed their mark (JME)
