A Louis XV ormolu mounted tulipwood , kingwood , amaranth and bois de bout marquetery secretaire
Artist Biography :
His stamp is found on a wide variety of furniture : a bureau plat in amaranth in the Bensimon Collection, very close
to the work of Cressent ; a table in the Ojjeh sale in the manner of Latz ; a commode in the Swedish Royal
Collections. This last piece is adorned with highly original mounts and may be dated to the 1730s.
Two further commodes, identical to one another and both stamped by Carel, also date from the 1730s. One is in the
Munich Residenz, and the other was sold in Paris on 12 June 1973, lot 127. The one in Munich has the trade label
of the marchand-mercier Calley, rue de la Monnaie at the sign "A la Descente du Pont Neuf".
The diversity of Carel's output makes it probable that he also sold the furniture of other ébénistes. Il is quite likely
that Carel worked around 1745 with the ébéniste IDF, as their two stamps are found side by side on a pair of
encoignures (Private Collection, Paris) dating from 1745-50
Carel must have been active until at least 1750, since his stamp is found on a small secrétaire en pente delivered
by Gaudreaux in 1751 for the daughters of Louis XV at Versailles.
