About the Item
A richly ornamented Louis XV style parquetry commode after Charles Cressent, topped with a serpentine brèche d’Alep marble top. The bombé front encloses two drawers veneered in fine timbers with strapwork cartouches and trellis parquetry. Lavish gilt-bronze mounts include reclining cherubs with oak branches and exotic birds, a flaming neoclassical urn to the lower drawer, and corner niches with additional cherubic figures above oak-branch legs.
Made circa 1880, this commode faithfully recreates the exuberant Rococo character of Cressent’s celebrated 1730 model—renowned for its sculptural bronzes and sensuous silhouette. The original, sold in the 1777 Julliot sale and later famed in the 1882 Hamilton Palace sale, now resides at Waddesdon Manor. This 19th-century example is of particularly high quality, echoing the superb bronze work and intricate parquetry of the royal prototype.

Louis XVI Style Commode after a Model by Jean-François Leleu, circa 1870
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
A Fine Louis XVI Style gilt bronze Mounted Commode after a Model by Jean-François Leleu.
French, circa 1870.
This important commode has a moulded rectangular Brocatelle Violette du Jura marble top above a frieze drawer with a pierced foliate cast panel, above two panelled long drawers quarter-veneered sans travers. The fluted angles of the commode are headed by scrolled acanthus cast clasps and it is raised on turned tapering legs with toupie feet.
The commode is based on the celebrated 18th century model, by Jean-François Leleu (1729-1807), now conserved at the Petit Trianon at Versailles. It was placed there in 1867 following an exhibition organised at the request of Empress Eugénie in memory of Queen Marie-Antoinette. The commode was further exhibited in Paris in the retrospective part of the Exposition de l' Union centrale des arts décoratifs in 1882.
