Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option.

This mahogany cabinet is considered to be one of the French masterpieces of the genre. The panels are simply painted on paper, with glass applied to create the illusion that the paintings were directly enamelled. Degault, who made these panels, used this technique with great skill. He endowed his decoration with a discreet richness, the quality of which could scarcely be equalled by direct painting on glass. The style of these panels is derived from the main source of inspiration at that time, the Pompeiian style. The rule of symmetry is respected, and treated with true grace. The figures representing half maidens, half acanthus leaves, are particularly worthy of note. Under-glass painting is itself an ancient technique. The jewellery cabinet of Marie-Antoinette has been placed in the bathroom of Napoleon I, at Saint-Cloud and then at Compiegne. In 1830, it was at the Palace of the Tuileries; today it is in the Petit-Trianon, at Versailles. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
