EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of furniture from the 18th century - a Commode dating back to around 1745. Crafted by the skilled hands of Bernard van Risenburgh II, this exquisite creation is an epitome of opulence and grandeur. The Commode features a stunning combination of ormolu-mounted Japanese lacquer and ebonized wood, creating a striking contrast that adds to its allure. Its black, ornate design is adorned with intricate gold detailing, showcasing the finest craftsmanship of the Rococo era. Originally commissioned for the bedroom of Dauphine Maria-Theresa at Versailles, this magnificent piece later found its place in the possession of Marie-Joseph de Saxe, another prominent figure in French royalty. The stamp "BVRB" serves as evidence of its authenticity and provenance. Every inch of this Commode exudes luxury and sophistication. Elaborate cartouches depict scenes inspired by Orientalist artistry, embracing chinoiserie influences prevalent during that time period. This fusion between European rococo style and Eastern aesthetics represents Japonisme at its finest. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to an era where royal elegance reigned supreme. It serves as a testament to the impeccable taste and discerning eye possessed by those who once owned it. A true masterpiece that continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide with its timeless beauty.
