EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of furniture known as the "Commode, c. 1745". Crafted by the skilled hands of Bernard van Risenburgh II, this commode is a true masterpiece that combines ormolu-mounted Japanese lacquer and ebonized wood. The black and ornate design exudes an air of royalty and opulence, making it a perfect fit for prestigious settings such as Versailles. Stamped with BVRB, this exquisite piece was originally delivered to Dauphine Maria-Theresa for her bedroom at Versailles. Later on, it found its way into the possession of Marie-Joseph de Saxe, the second Dauphine. Every inch of this commode is adorned with intricate details, including elaborate cartouches and scenes inspired by orientalist aesthetics. The use of gold accents adds a touch of grandeur to its rococo style. With its chinoiserie influence and japonisme elements, this commode represents a harmonious blend between French craftsmanship and Eastern inspiration. It serves as a testament to the artistic exchange between cultures during the 18th century. Now part of a private collection, this print allows us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship behind this extraordinary piece. Its presence evokes images of luxurious royal chambers from centuries past while also highlighting the enduring allure of fine art furniture in our modern world.
