Louis XVI-Style Marquetry Commodes
About the Item
This magnificent pair of French commodes captures the refinement of the Louis XVI style. A highly detailed parquetry design is inlaid into the commodes’ facades and centered by beautiful marquetry still lifes of fruits, flowers and urns. The foliate motif continues with abundant neoclassical bronze ormolu decoration, including acanthus swags and wreath drawer pulls. Each commode is completed by a white marble top accented with elegant grey veins. Crafted with subtlety and meticulous attention to detail, this pair of commodes epitomizes all of the best elements of the neoclassical Louis XVI style.
Based on the furniture and decor created during the reign of French King Louis XVI (1774-1789), the Louis XVI style experienced a comeback in the 1860s in Europe. This revival reintroduced a formal classicism to furniture with an emphasis on simplicity, straight lines and symmetry. The slenderness of proportion was once again favored in furniture, as well as classical motifs and understated luxury. Today, this elegant and timeless style remains highly prized.

View AllLouis XVI Commode by Pierre Roussel
By Pierre Roussel
Located in New Orleans, LA
Matchless style and high-quality craftsmanship are the hallmarks of Pierre Roussel's furniture, and this exceptional Louis XVI-era commode epitomizes this master craftsman's skill. Crafted of rosewood veneer with a violet wood frame and intricate parquetry inlay, the cabinet's graceful design is also highly practical. The compact form holds two drawers, one of which can be locked for added security. A specimen of marble provides the perfect surface, while bronze ormolu mounts add an additional hint of luxury to the drawers and body. Elegantly curved cabriole legs with bronze ormolu shoes complete this impeccable piece.
Known for his superior craftsmanship, Roussel was a highly respected maître ébéniste of the 18th century. His furniture pieces were favoured by grand patrons such as the Prince de Condé and the Princess of Monaco...

After an important model by Jean-Henri Riesener (French, 1734-1806), a highly renowned ebeniste of great standing, this exceptional commode is of outstanding quality, and fully embodies the quality of craftsmanship and great artistic style of the Louis XVI period and the original piece, which is currently housed in the Chateau de Fontainebleau, France.
