About the Item

A Fine Gilt-Bronze Mounted Marquetry Commode, By Heinrich Pallenberg, Cologne. The original marble top is a rare yellow, black and grey brèche marble. This magnificent chest of drawers is fronted by two deep drawers decorated with superb bois de bout (end cut) floral marquetry composed of precious timbers. The angles are headed by draped lion pelts. The sides with panelled quarter veneers. Raised on cabriole legs with paw feet. Signed to the locks with maker's mark: 'H. Pallenberg Cologne'. German, Circa 1890. The distinctive lion-pelt corner mounts are indebted to those which feature prominently to the legs of the bureau de Roi in the Palace of Versailles, which is the most celebrated piece of French furniture and was commissioned by Louis XV from Oeben in 1760 and ultimately completed by Riesener in 1769. The design of this commode is a homage to the maitre ébénistes of the eighteenth century.
