Table à jeu

1817
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 728
Cette extraordinaire table à jeu fait partie d’une paire provenant d’un mobilier à dorures sculpturales, typique de l’œuvre de Charles-Honoré Lannuier. Cet ébéniste français travailla à New York de 1803 à 1819, à l’époque fédérale. Ces chefs-d’œuvre datés et signés sont remarquables pour leur grande beauté mais aussi pour leur provenance, puisqu’ils sont restés dans la famille de leur premier propriétaire, Stephen Van Rensselaer IV, de la ville d’Albany. Selon une facture établie pour des tables identiques, la paire aurait coûté 250 dollars, somme très élevée puisque le salaire d’un compagnon ébéniste ne dépassait guère un dollar par jour.
