19th Century Inlaid Demilune Satinwood Commode
Located in Lymington, GB
An English semi-elliptical, or demilune (half moon), inlaid satinwood commode of neoclassical form.
Of very good rich color and patination.
The marquetry in kingwood, tulipwood, burr veneers and harewood.
The fine quality top inlaid with a large conch shell, with radiating trailing marquetry of bell-flower ribands, within a Vitruvian scroll border.
This inlaid commode (or chest) contains three hinged cupboard doors each centred by oval panels inlaid with two-handled classical urns with drapery and flambeaux, on plinths set with burr veneers. The central cupboard revealing a bank of three oak-lined fitted drawers.
The flanking cupboards with shelves.
Raised on short square tapering legs and spade feet.
19th century, with 18th-century elements.
All in excellent condition and of superb quality.
Satinwood and marquetry commodes of this design reflect some of the highest achievements in English cabinet-making.
Sometimes these antique commodes reveal the hand of two different master cabinet-makers, with tops differing from the bases.
References:
For a comparison see A. Hepplewhite and Co., Cabinet Maker, 'The Cabinet - Maker and Upholsterer's Guide' (1788) plate 78: ''Design for a Commode, enriched with painted or inlaid work adapted for a drawing room, within are shelves which answer the use of a closet or cupboard - may have one principal door in the front, or one at each end; are made of various shapes; and being used in principal rooms, require considerable elegance. The panels may be of satin wood, plain or inlaid; the top, and also the border round the front, should be inlaid.''
A fine George III satinwood and marquetry demilune commode attributed to Thomas Chippendale sold for £134,500 in Bonhams 'Fine English Furniture & Works of Art Sale', 19 Nov 2014.
A related pair of satinwood commodes are in the Royal collection, made in 1781 for George IV when he was Prince of Wales. XQC 1988, 95, & XQC 2004, GIII, 284.
