It is made of rosewood and amaranth and richly decorated with marquetry representing flowers, leaves and the attributes of royalty and poetry. Above the cylinder top that hides the pigeon-holes, is placed a horizontal ornament composed of rods twined with ribbons, and above this is an open-worked gallery, broken by figures of Cupids playing above a little clock. On each side of the cylinder, a figure of gilt bronze holds a girandole of two branches, each terminating in a floral cup for the candle, something like the _bras de lumière_ on Plate XXXII. One figure is Apollo and the other, Calliope. The bronzes were modelled by Duplessis and Winant, and chiselled by Hervieux; and in addition to the ornaments already described, there are swags of leaves, knots of ribbon and decorations on the legs and feet,—all of _or moulu_. For many years these bronzes were attributed to Caffieri. This work is signed “Risener fa, 1769.” A very interesting example of a low glass book-case and _serre-papiers_ appears as No. 2 on Plate XXXI. The _serre-papiers_, surmounted by a clock, stands upon a very characteristic table. On either side of it is placed a low bookcase with glass doors, the top moulding of which suggests the shape of a wing, or bow. This is flanked by a panel, above which is another panel. The wall space above the bookcase and behind the _serre-papiers_ is intended to be hung with tapestry, or damask. A table, similar in general form to the one on which the _serre-papiers_ just described stands, appears on Plate XXXI. This is a Regency piece, with its slightly curving legs, hinds’ feet, and _or moulu_ ornaments. The arrangement of scrolls in the centre of the drawer is very characteristic. No. 1 on the same plate gives details of the ornamentation at the sides under the slab. There were many varieties of desks, cabinets, jewel-cases, etc., designed especially for the boudoir. Some of these have already been described. A “_petit-bureau_,” however, is shown on Plate XXXIII. This is known as “_bonheur du jour_,” and is made of sycamore, ornamented with chiselled copper _appliques_ and plaques of Sèvres porcelain. The foot is decorated with “leaf-shoe” of gilded metal, also characteristic of the age. One of the many varieties of card-tables appears on Plate XXXVI., No. 10. This has the hollows for counters and candlesticks. Nothing more impressively decorative in its proper surroundings can be imagined than the tall clock of the Regency and Louis XV. period. In houses of the present day, a tall clock is set up in some corner entirely irrespective of the wall-decoration of the hall, or room. The Regency clock was strictly in keeping with the general decoration, and deserves something better as a background than poor panelling, or vulgar printed paper. It requires a wainscot with solid mouldings, severe and well studied lines, and a high ceiling. A somewhat plain specimen of the period, in carved oak, is shown on Plate XXXII.
