ATTRIBUTED TO MARTIN CARLIN, 1740-PRESENT) SÈVRES MANUFACTORY (FRENCH (SOFT-PASTE PORCELAIN PLAQUES) et PARIS VARIOUS FRENCH PAINTERS (SOFT-PASTE PORCELAIN PLAQUES). Secretary. Artist: Attributed to Martin Carlin (French, near Freiburg im Breisgau ca. 1730-1785 Paris); Sèvres Manufactory (French, 1740-present) (soft-paste porcelain plaques); various French painters, Paris (soft-paste porcelain plaques).

This upright rectangular drop-front secrétaire is thought to have come from the Parisian workshop of the French cabinetmaker ("maitre-ébeniste") Martin Carlin. From his quarters in the Rue de Faubourg Saint-Antoine, Carlin produced writing-desks, commodes, and secretaires inset with porcelain plaques or panels of "pietre dure", all exquisite pieces befitting his illustrious clientele. The daughters of Louis XV, Madame Adélaïde and Madame Victoire, decorated the Chateau Bellevue at Meudon near Paris with some of his masterpieces.
Carlin crafted several drop-front secrétaires like the one in the Lehman Collection. The present example has Ionic fluted columns in the forecorners and Ionic pilasters on the rear corners, resting on a lower stage supported on four straight tapering and fluted octagonal legs. The white marble top of the upper section is surrounded by a gilt bronze molding chased with laurel leaves and berries surmounted on the sides and back by an open-work gilt bronze gallery. The frieze of three recessed panels is mounted with gilt bronze floral garlands tied with flower heads and ribbons interspersed with shaped cartouches. The fall front and sides of the upper section are mounted with rectangular porcelain plaques, the front plaques decorated with baskets of flowers and leaves suspended from knotted ribbons on a green japanned ground. The lower stage is also fitted with porcelain plaques decorated with floral sprays. All the plaques are framed with a gilt bronze water-leaf molding. The interior is fitted with pigeon holes and six drawers veneered in tulip-wood. The forecorners of the lower stage are mounted with gilt bronze female masks enframed with leaves, berries, and garlands of beads; the rear corners are mounted with gilt bronze lion masks.

Traduction automatique: Secrétaire. Artiste : attribué à Martin Carlin (Français, près de Freiburg im Breisgau ca. 1730-1785 Paris) ; Manufacture de Sèvres (France, 1740-présent) (plaques en porcelaine tendre); divers peintres français, Paris (plaques en porcelaine tendre). Dimensions : H. 120,3 cm, L. 80 cm, P. 45,7 cm. Date : env. 1781-85. Ce secrétaire droit rectangulaire à abattant proviendrait de l'atelier parisien de l'ébéniste français ("maître-ébeniste") Martin Carlin. De ses quartiers de la rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, Carlin produit des écritoires, des commodes et des secrétaires incrustés de plaques de porcelaine ou de panneaux de "pierre dure", toutes pièces exquises convenant à son illustre clientèle. Les filles de Louis XV, Madame Adélaïde et Madame Victoire, ont décoré le Château Bellevue à Meudon près de Paris avec certains de ses chefs-d'?uvre. Carlin a conçu plusieurs secrétaires à abattant comme celui de la collection Lehman. Le présent exemple a des colonnes cannelées ioniques dans les coins avant et des pilastres ioniques dans les coins arrière, reposant sur un étage inférieur soutenu par quatre pieds octogonaux droits effilés et cannelés. Le plateau de marbre blanc de la partie supérieure est entouré d'une moulure en bronze doré ciselé de feuilles et de baies de laurier surmontée sur les côtés et à l'arrière d'une galerie ajourée en bronze doré. La frise de trois panneaux en creux est montée de guirlandes florales en bronze doré nouées de capitules et de rubans entrecoupés de cartouches façonnés. La face avant et les côtés de la partie supérieure sont montés de plaques rectangulaires en porcelaine, les plaques avant décorées de paniers de fleurs et de feuillages suspendus à des rubans noués sur un fond laqué vert. L'étage inférieur est également équipé de plaques de porcelaine décorées de gerbes florales. Toutes les plaques sont encadrées d'une moulure à la feuille d'eau en bronze doré. L'intérieur est pourvu de casiers et de six tiroirs plaqués de bois de tulipier. Les avant-coins de l'étage inférieur sont ornés de masques féminins en bronze doré encadrés de feuillages, de baies et de guirlandes de perles ; les angles postérieurs sont montés de mascarons de lions en bronze doré.
