32 cm. High = 12 5/8 inches
13,5 cm. Wide = 5 5/16 inches

Very rare objects characteristic of André-Charles Boulle’s style.

A famous engraving depicts a cartonnier element in a very similar spirit.

Each presents a barefoot figure, wearing a feathered turban and clad in a theatrical costume.
The female figure, seated next to a basket of fruit, holds a mask in one hand and a compact in the other.
Each rests on a baluster-shaped base with an octagonal, ogee-moulded pedestal.
At the center of each side is a cartouche featuring an oval profile, surmounted by a decorative motif of acanthus leaves and scrolls. The entire piece is adorned with a pendant of fleurons.
