louis xv kingwood cabinet stamped leonard boudin

Circa 1760s, Louis XV cabinet, stamped L Boudin. The description as taken from a Christies catalogue dated 29 June 1967, and found inside the cabinet door as follows:
‘A small Louis XV cabinet, with semi-serpentine sides and a marble top, with two cupboard doors, revealing four small drawers and with three drawers below on shaped feet, veneered with quartered mahogany, and mounted with scrolled rococo key plaques and knees cast with scrolled leaves and flowers reaching to similar sabots, stamped L. Boudin JME… Leonard Boudin, maitre in 1761’.

Leonard Boudin (1735-1807) was an independent ébéniste who worked in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine district of Paris until 1767, and examples of his work are in collections ranging from the Royal Collection Trust, the Louvre to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The mark JME to the Boudin stamp refers to the 'jurande des menuisiers-ébénistes', which was made up of elected guild members who approved the quality of the piece.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
