Classical figure and scroll in gilt, detail from a wooden cabinet, 1771, by Jean-Henri Riesener, in the apartment of Madame Lemoine de Crecy, in the Pierre-Elisabeth de Fontanieu wing of the Intendant's apartments, in the Hotel de la Marine, built 1757-74 by Ange-Jacques Gabriel, 1698-1782, architect to King Louis XV, on the Place de la Concorde, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France. This secretary desk was bought in 2019 by the Al Thani Collection Foundation and gifted to the CMN. The building was made to house the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne, the king's furniture collection. The Intendant of the Garde-Meuble was an important officer to the king, and was housed in this building in lavish apartments (Pierre-Elisabeth de Fontanieu from 1765, and Marc-Antoine Thierry de Ville d’Avray from 1786). From 1789, the building became the Ministere de la Marine, the navy ministry. It was restored 2017-20 and is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
