A Louis XVI Mahogany Rafraichissoir in the Manner of Joseph Gengenbach Canabas

Offered by: epoca

Description
A superb Transition-style mahogany wine cooler reminiscent of Joseph Gegenbach Canabas (France 1715-1797); the curved tabletop fitted with two silver-plated metal coolers behind a recessed serving area; the deep apron fitted with a single drawer over two concave shelves; the whole raised on long and graceful cabriole supports ending in a scrolled foot terminating in bronze toupie feet and casters.
This model is typical of that of Gegenbach Canabas who became a master craftsman in 1766. Its distinctive feature is the curved rear section which houses the two bottle holders.
A similar model can be found in the acclaimed book "18th-Century French Furniture" by Pierre Kjellberg, p. 164. The Louvre Museum holds a similar rafraichissoir in its collection, as does the Nissim de Camondo Museum (illustrated in "Musée Nissim de Camondo," 1973, no. 271, p. 65).
