EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of furniture known as the Commode, dating back to around 1745. Crafted by the skilled hands of Bernard van Risenburgh II, this ornate commode features exquisite ormolu-mounted Japanese lacquer and ebonized wood. The intricate details on this black and gold masterpiece are truly mesmerizing. Elaborate cartouches adorn its surface, depicting scenes inspired by orientalist art. The rococo style is evident in every curve and flourish, adding an air of opulence fit for royalty. Originally commissioned for the bedroom of Dauphine Maria-Theresa at Versailles, this commode carries with it a rich history. Stamped with BVRB and delivered by Hebert himself, it later found its way into the possession of Marie-Joseph de Saxe, the second Dauphine. The fusion of French rococo design with Japanese lacquerwork reflects both chinoiserie influences and japonisme aesthetics prevalent during that era. This unique blend creates a harmonious balance between Eastern and Western artistic traditions. Now part of a private collection after being previously held by French & Co. , this photograph captures the essence of luxury and grandeur associated with Louis XV's reign. Its presence evokes images of lavish royal chambers adorned with such magnificent pieces. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to an era where craftsmanship reached new heights and beauty was celebrated in every detail
