An Important Full Size Cheval Dressing Glass. Attributed to Charles-Honore Lannuier This significant New York dressing glass displays the superb detail of the finest Neoclassical cabinetmakers of the early 19th Century. The strong classical proportions and exceptional mahogany veneers are accentuated by lavish ormolu decorations. The inlaid brass stars are a distinctive element associated with the work of Charles-Honore Lannuier. A suite of armchairs produced for the New York City Hall by Lannuier in 1812 feature this identical inlay. *Charles-Honore Lannuier's printed label depicts a similar mirror. This label and an example of the star inlay can be found in 'Honore Lannuier Cabinet Maker From Paris'; Peter Kenney, et al., Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1998. Plate 13 & 62.
