Lot 76
An American Rococo Carved Rosewood Armoire, mid-19th c., New Orleans, birdseye maple fitted interior, foliate carved crest with a central cabochon, turned and lobed finials, finely molded paneled doors, plinth drawer, height 108 1/2 in., width 65 3/8 in., depth 23 3/4 in. Provenance: Descended in the Villere-Clark-Atkinson family of New Orleans. Note: Suites of bedroom furniture linked to the Lansdowne examples and the shop of Prudent Mallard, including the suite offered here, are often assembled in a complementary arrangement rather than manufactured with absolutely homogenous motifs, as seen more often in American suites later in the 19th-century. Assembled suites related to the lots offered here include furniture at Lansdowne itself, a suite (bed, duchesse, and single door armoire) descended in a New Orleans family with an 1874 receipt from Prudent Mallard; a suite (bed, armoire, dresser, washstand) historically associated with 133 4th Street, New Orleans; and a bed and armoire from a New Orleans collector.
