طاولة للكتابة

Gilles Joubert French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 525

في يوم 29 ديسمبر من سنة 1759م سلّم جيل جوبير، نجّار الأبنوس النّاجح، والباريسيّ الذي تلقّى عددًا كبيرا من الطّلبيّات الملكيّة، هذه الطاولة المعدّة للكتابة إلى مكتب عمل لويس التّاسع بـفرساي. وتحاكي زخرفةُ السّطح البرنيقَ الصّينيَّ الأحمرَ والذّهبيَّ كثير الانتشار في فرنسا أواسطَ القرن الثّامن عشر الميلادي وقد كان يستعمل في طلاء الأثاث. أمّا الرُّزَز البرونزيّة المذهّبة والمخرّمة جزئيّا فإنّها لا تزيد من قيمة ما في الطّاولة من خطوط منحنية برشاقة فحسب، بل تحمي أيضا اللّمعان الأرجوانيّ للبرنيق وتؤطّره. وستظلّ هذه الطاولة موجودة في فرساي إلى حين بيع الممتلكات الملكيّة إبّان الثورة في الفترة المتراوحة بين سنتي 1793 - 1794م.
