Jean Henri Riesener French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 524

في سنة 1783م، وبطلب من ماري أنطوانيت، ابتكر جان هنري ريسنر هذا المكتب البديع. وعلى المنوال نفسه صنع مكتبا آخر يوجد الآن في المتحف كذلك. و خَصَّت الملكةُ بهذا المكتب إحدى غرفها الشخصيّة في قصر فرساي، ووضعت فيه العُلب المُبَرنقة ذات الأصول اليابانيّة التي ورثتها من والدتها ماري تيريز إمبراطورة النّمسا. وبشأن البرنقة المزوّقة لهذا الأثاث الملكيّ، فقد أعاد الفنّانُ استعمالَ أجزاء منتقاة مجلوبة من البرنيق الياباني الذي يعود إلى القرن السّابع عشر الميلادي. وقد نشأ عمّا ترسله هذه الأجزاءُ من بريق أسود وذهبيّ وعن لمعان الأبنوس تباينًا يأخذ الألباب. وتُضاف إليها الرُزَز البرونزيّة المذهّبة التي تتضافر مع أكاليل الأزهار المرسومة بأسلوب أصحاب المذهب الطبيعيّ. وقد أُدمجت الأحرف الأولى من اسم الملكة وسطَ الإفريز في أعلى المكتب.
