2258. Drop-Front Secretary on Stand
NARRATOR: The beauty and refinement of French eighteenth-century furniture attracted an international clientele. Among them were the future empress and emperor of Russia, Paul and Maria Feodorovna. They stopped in Paris on a Grand Tour of Europe, while traveling incognito as the count and countess du Nord. Daniëlle Kisluk-Grosheide.
DANIËLLE KISLUK-GROSHEIDE: And we know that they visited, in 1782, the luxury shop of the marchand-mercier Daguerre. And it is very likely that, at that occasion, Maria selected this piece, which she then had sent to Russia and used in Pavlosk, this wonderful jewel box country house that they were building outside St. Petersburg.
NARRATOR: Paris was also a magnet for foreign-born cabinetmakers. This secretary is attributed to the German-born Martin Carlin. He specialized in fashionable Sèvres-mounted pieces, and you can see a number of them here.
