Cattle horn was softened in hot water, split lengthwise and pressed flat between heated plates until it became translucent, then tinted from behind with pigment in glue before being laid down. Because horn is naturally yellowish, a blue pigment applied behind it reads as green. The technique is a cousin of Boulle work in tortoiseshell — the same logic of translucent keratin over a coloured ground, cut and mounted in ormolu — and it carries none of the wildlife-trade restrictions that apply to tortoiseshell or ivory. This is ordinary domestic cattle horn, a livestock by-product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the signature.\u003c\/strong\u003e The dial is signed A. Gosselin.

On a French cartel of this period the dial and movement carry the \u003cem\u003ehorloger\u003c\/em\u003e, while the case is the work of a different craftsman and is signed separately and elsewhere — a name on a Paris clock of this date identifies one trade’s contribution, not sole authorship.

Known for his meticulous attention to detail and use of luxurious materials, Leleu's furniture often featured clean lines and exquisite embellishments, like the marquetry seen on this piece. While he did not win the fame of such contemporaries as Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann and Jean-Michel Frank, Leleu had a longer career and was easily their peer in the conception of trim, refined furniture forms and in the use of the opulent materials, from lacquer and ivory to sharkskin and exotic woods, that were a keynote of haute Art Deco design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeleu was born into a family of artisans and decorators. Their firm, Maison Leleu, had existed since the 18th century and Jules would guide it through much of the 20th. (The business lasted until 1973, headed at the end by Jules's children.) He studied architecture, served as an aviator in World War I, and after the conflict took up design full-time. Leleu presented work at the 1925 exposition in Paris that gave us the term Art Deco, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York purchased a burl amboyna wood commode by Leleu directly from the show.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the furniture presented here shows, Leleu was a stickler for precision and detailed craftsmanship. He preferred to let his materials do the talking, his furniture is generally spare and sleek; its presence is established by figuring (or patterning\/graining) in the wood and the occasional marquetry medallion. He had a keen eye for currents in design, and an adaptable sensibility. Maison Leleu would embrace many of the starker forms of modernism after the 1940s, as well as new materials such as artificial lacquer and plastics (then considered cutting-edge rather than cheap). Jules Leleu is a guiding light of 20th-century modernism: a man whose work represents both a devotion to traditional handiwork and an appreciation for the next wave in design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Euro Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49917259481345,"sku":"LU4082114410711","price":10875.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/8652\/4673\/files\/f_14410711_1714082176383_bg_processed.jpg?v=1783522039"},{"product_id":"fine-english-queen-anne-walnut-bookcase-with-secretary-desk","title":"Fine English Queen Anne Walnut Bookcase with Secretary Desk","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine 18th century English Queen Anne-period furnishings such as this walnut secretary are incredibly rare and important examples of English cabinetmaking, all original.

He worked in the rue de Charenton, opposite the rue Saint-Nicolas, under the sign of the Image of Saint Peter — his own patron saint. Between 1775 and 1780 he received commissions from the Prince de Condé totalling some 10,000 livres for the Palais-Bourbon and the château de Chantilly, and he became one of the suppliers of the Court. Furniture stamped by him is held by the Petit Palais and the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, and by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, whose example is an upright secretary of about 1775 to 1780.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the stamp does and does not mean.\u003c\/strong\u003e Roussel ran at least three workshops, a store-room and a retail shop; he was a manufacturer and merchant as much as a craftsman, and the P. ROUSSEL punch functioned as a house mark. After his death in 1782 his widow, Marie-Antoinette Fontaine, continued to run the business and kept using her husband’s mark to sign the work of their sons, as the guild rules allowed.
