EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the exquisite beauty of the Royal Louis XVI commode, a masterpiece created by renowned French cabinetmaker Jean-Henri Riesener. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this ormolu-mounted piece showcases a harmonious blend of amaranth, sycamore, mahogany, parquetry, and marquetry. Standing at an impressive 95x165x63 cm in size, this commode commands attention with its elegant design and luxurious materials. The breakfront facade features a lappeted band and three frieze-drawers adorned with scrolling foliage. The central drawer proudly displays the interlaced L cypher as a symbol of royalty. The two long drawers below are meticulously decorated sans traverse to the center panel. Here we find an angled and lappeted panel showcasing a vase with mask flanked by a basket overflowing with fruits and flowers. Flowerhead-filled trellis panels and laurel-trails adorn each side, adding further opulence to this remarkable piece. Every inch of this commode is expertly crafted; from the shaped floral apron to the volute with husk-trails on the angles. The sides feature out-swept flowerhead-filled trellis designs that add depth and dimensionality. Stamped six times J. H. RIESENER for authenticity, this exceptional work bears witness to Riesener's mastery in cabinetmaking during his time. Although some elements have been restored over time - such as breaks in the marble top - it remains an extraordinary example of Louis XVI furniture. This print allows us to appreciate not only Riesener's skill but also serves as a testament to timeless elegance fit for royalty.
