Empire Commode, France, 19th Century
About the Item
Empire commode. Mahogany, oak, ormolu bronze, Saint Anne marble. France, 19th century.
Rectangular chest of drawers with top board in Sainte Anne marble, made of carved mahogany and oak, with three drawers at the front, decorated on the front with two rings that emerge from the jaws of two bronze lion protomes and a coat of arms. Lock with two crossed cornucopias; under the table is another hidden drawer with internal divisions; the front legs are carved in the shape of a claw, and the rear legs are rectangular. Known as Saint Anne marble is a dark gray veined marble from Belgium and widely used for furniture panels, monuments, etc., although there are preserved Louis XV and Victorian style fireplace fronts and other objects made of this stone. The high-quality bronze sconces, the composition of the furniture and the decoration of the same link the piece with the French Empire Style, so called to develop mainly during the First French Empire (although it begins already during Napoleon's military campaigns in Italy and Egypt). However, it is necessary to highlight the lack of decorative elements for which French specimens are known. Copies similar to the present can be found in prominent European residences, mainly in France. In Spain, similar comfortable palaces and institutions
such as the National Museum of Decorative Arts or the Museum of Romanticism in Madrid, for example, still remain."
