EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a late Louis XV commode, dating back to the years 1763-1770. Crafted by the French School in the 18th century, this exquisite piece measures 95x147.5x56 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The commode features an ormolu-mounted Japanese lacquer and ebony design, displaying remarkable craftsmanship. Attributed to either Bernard II or Bernard III Van Risenburgh, renowned cabinetmakers of their time, this commode boasts intricate details that truly captivate the eye. Adorned with a breccia rosso e giallo marble top above a partially gadrooned cornice and shaped frieze drawer, it exudes elegance from every angle. The focal point of this masterpiece lies within its panelled door depicting a Chinoiserie landscape surrounded by floral paterae and fruiting laurel swags. The sides are similarly adorned with landscape panels while bearded bacchic masks grace the canted angles leading to bracket feet mounted with foliate paterae. Stamped twice BVRB for Bernard Van Risenburgh as well as four times JME (Jurande des Menuisiers Ébénistes) and twice M (Maître), this commode bears witness to its exceptional provenance. Accompanied by a photograph taken by eChristies Images from Bridgeman Images, this stunning image allows art enthusiasts to appreciate the beauty of this late Louis XV commode in all its glory.
