This wooden middle worker, stamped by the famous Roll* house located at No. 42 Faubourg Saint-Antoine in Paris, is an exceptional piece.
It opens with a drawer in an animated belt, decorated with brass threads, with an authentic lock and inlaid brass entrance accompanied by its key.
The top, with a beaded outline, is decorated with multiple threads and a central motif in chiseled and lacquered brass.
This top, mounted on hinges and compasses, lifts to reveal an interior mercury mirror and an original two-point lock with inlaid entrance and key.
The interior offers a removable compartmentalized element.
The crossed legs are connected by a turned brace, adorned with rosettes at each end, adding a touch of sophistication to this already remarkable piece.
This worker perfectly embodies the know-how of the Roll house and the elegance of the furniture once made in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine.
*Maison Roll: Its founder, Joseph Roll (1810-1879), was deputy mayor of the 12th arrondissement of Paris and president of the cabinetmakers of the mutual aid society of cabinetmakers of Paris. He enjoyed great success with his eponymous business which contributed to the reputation of Faubourg Saint-Antoine. The Roll house was one of the official suppliers to Napoleon III.
