A Louis XVI Style Gilt-Bronze Mounted Mahogany and Ebonised Commode à l'Anglaise

About the Item

A Louis XVI Style Gilt-Bronze Mounted Mahogany and Ebonised Commode à l'Anglaise. The original marble top of Italian fleur de pêcher marble. The centre frieze drawer applied with neo-classical attributes of love including cupid’s bow amidst floral garlands. The curved sides with concealed frieze drawers. The central cupboard door enclosing an interior fitted with a shelf. The sides with mirrored back panels around marble lined shelves. The door is lavishly mounted in gilt-bronze with floral swags, and branches creating the ‘MA’ cypher for Queen Marie Antoinette. Accordingly, this side cabinet or ‘Commode à l'Anglaise’, was one of the most celebrated and desirable pieces of French furniture made during the nineteenth century because, as a model, it was considered to have direct lineage to the refined and superior taste of Queen Marie Antoinette. This type of low cabinet with open shelves to the sides was thought to appeal especially to the English market and therefore became known as a ‘Commode à l'Anglaise’ in reference to wealthy English collectors who, led by the Prince Regent, bought up French royal furniture after the revolution.
