Sheraton Revival Mahogany Bonheur Du Jour
The Sheraton Revival Mahogany Bonheur du Jour is a beautiful piece of antique furniture. Bonheur du Jour is a French term that translates to "daytime delight" or "daytime happiness." It refers to a small writing desk or dressing table that was popular during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
The Sheraton Revival style is a antique furniture style that emerged in the late 19th century, inspired by the designs of English furniture maker Thomas Sheraton from the late 18th century. It aimed to revive and recreate the elegant and refined furniture designs of the Sheraton period.
This Bonheur du Jour features tapered legs with spade feet. Tapered legs are legs that gradually become narrower towards the bottom, providing an elegant and sophisticated look. Spade feet refer to feet that are shaped like spades, adding a decorative element to the piece.
The piece also includes two drawers that are lined with mahogany. Mahogany is a hardwood known for its durability and rich, reddish-brown color. The use of mahogany lining in the drawers adds a touch of luxury and craftsmanship.
Furthermore, the drawers retain their original brass handles. Brass handles were commonly used in antique furniture due to their durability and aesthetic appeal. The fact that the handles are original suggests that the piece has been well-preserved or restored to maintain its authenticity.
The Whole of the Piece having Satinwood Crossbanding and Chequered Line Inlays.
Overall, this Sheraton Revival Mahogany Bonheur du Jour showcases the elegant design and craftsmanship of the Sheraton period. It combines tapered legs with spade feet, mahogany-lined drawers, and original brass handles to create a sophisticated and timeless piece of furniture.
