PANEL WITH THE ARMS OF FRANCE OF THE LOUIS-PHILIPPE PERIOD
Ebony inlaid with tortoiseshell, copper, pewter, mother-of-pearl and ivory, the central arms surrounded by foliage scrolls, trophies in reserves with spandrels, the border patterned with interlacing and ribboned stems
Dimensions: 54 × 31 cm (21 ½ × 17 in.)
A Louis-Philippe ebony, brass, pewter, tortoiseshell, mother-of-pearl and ivory inlaid panel with the French coat-of-arms

The Charter of 1830 founds the July Monarchy resulting from the Three Glorious Days of 27, 28 and 29 July 1830. The new regime of parliamentary monarchy makes it a symbol from an Ordinance of February 26, 1831 stating : In the future, the seal of the State will represent an open book with the words "Charter of 1830" inside, surmounted by a closed crown, with the sceptre and the hand of justice in saltire, and tricolour flags behind the coat of arms, with the words "Louis-Philippe I, King of the French" as the motto. The arms of France will thus be represented until the abdication of Louis-Philippe on February 24, 1848. The decoration of foliage scrolls, ivy running through stylized interlacing, the escutcheons enclosing trophies, inscribe this panel in the neo-Renaissance current of the Louis-Philippe period, also marked by the taste for ebony furniture inlaid with metal, ivory, mother-of-pearl or tortoiseshell. Probably commissioned work,
this true masterpiece of marquetry, is to be compared by its decoration to a pair of pedestal tables delivered on 8 August 1838 by Louis-Edouard Lemarchand (1795-1872), official cabinetmaker to the Duke of Orléans, for the new family room of the Grand Trianon (illustrated in the exhibition catalogue "Un âge d'or des arts décoratifs, 1814-1848", Paris, Galeries nationales du Grand-Palais, 10 October-30 December 1991, p.249, cat. 121). In ebony, their plate is inlaid with copper and engraved pewter.
