Antique Empire Chest of Drawers in West Indies Mahogany with Mythological Scenes
Located in Miami, FL
A very fine Empire commode in a light-colored Cuban/ West Indies mahogany with satinwood inlays featuring an upper drawer with small inlaid lidded compartments with original turned knobs. Line inlays continue throughout the plinth, with the top banded in ebonized trim. The top drawer is inlaid with a pair of opposing griffins whose tails sprout oak leaves. A mythological scene in the center arch of the middle drawer appears to be a depiction of Ariadne (daughter of King Minos of Crete) and Dionysus (or Bacchus: the god of wine, mirth and an itinerant wanderer). He is squeezing the juice from a bundle of grapes into her goblet. It could portray their first meeting at Naxos, upon awakening to the reality that she had been left behind by Theseus. Ariadne had saved Theseus from the Minotaur by providing him with an escape route...

Louis XVI Style Commode after the Model by Leleu by François Linke, circa 1910
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
An important Louis XVI style gilt bronze-mounted commode, after the model by Jean-Francois Leleu by François Linke.
French, circa 1910.
Linke index number: 1127.
Linke title: 'Commode Louis XVI, Bois d'amarante et de rose.'
Signed ‘Linke’ to the right-hand side chute.
This distinguished commode is quarter veneered in mahogany with bois de violette banding and boxwood stringing. It is furnished with finely cast gilt-bronze mounts and surmounted by a brèche violette marble top.
It appears that Linke bought the rights to make this commode from the Vente Cueunières in 1902, although there is no trace of it being made by him until the summer of 1908 and there is no entry in the Blue Daybooks for this model. The green registres have two pages devoted to the making of the commodes, the first at a cost of 1,540 and 40 centimes, with eight more made in the intervening years, the last, a pair, in 1927 with the cost price escalating to 8,529 francs. The registre is not entirely clear, but it appears that Clément Linke, father and son, made the locks for this model. The cabinetmaking was exclusively by Guntren who took 496 hours per commode, paid 85 centimes in 1908 rising to 5 francs 75 cents for the last pair. Linke priced this commode at 3,000 French francs, noting in his book 'original est de Leleu est à Trianon.'
The original commode by Leleu, on loan from the Petit Trianon, is shown in a line engraving in the retrospective part of the Exposition de l' Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, 1882, De Champeau & Others, 'Les arts du bois,' pub. Quantin, 1883, p. 80. The commode entered the Petit Trianon in 1867 on the occasion of an earlier exhibition dedicated to the memory of Marie-Antoinette, organised under the patronage of the Empress Eugénie.
Jean-François Leleu
A pupil and later collaborator with Jean-François Oeben, Jean-François Leleu became maître on the latter’s death in 1763. His work can be divided into two concurrent but distinct styles: the first owing more to the legacy of Oeben, being of large, solid forms, more noble in style; the second, although retaining the clean, definite lines of the first, being an exercise in elegance and understatement. It is this second style for which Leleu is chiefly remembered and which the present commode, with its lightly bombé form and restrained frieze mounts, is a principal example.

18th Century Chest Of Drawers - Attributed School Of G. Maggiolini, IT ca. 1780
By Giuseppe Maggiolini
Located in Lichtenberg, AT
Exceptional, remarkable 18th century marquetry chest of drawers out of Italy, more precisely the Lombardy. Artfully crafted around 1780 with highest attention to details, this masterpiece of mid 18th century Italian craftsmanship is attributed to the school of the world famous cabinetmaker Giuseppe Maggiolini (1738 - 1814). The time-consuming restoration of this masterpiece took us more than 7 weeks and has been done by our most experienced master of restoration. The ultimate goal was to restore it the old way and preserve the unbelievable charm of this valuable 18th century dresser. With an age of more than 240 years, this rare Italian chest of drawers comes with a straight shaped body made of spruce and poplar, elaborately set nutwood, cherry and maple veneer works and incredible marquetry all over this unique commode. Providing three drawers - whereby the top drawer is a little narrower - this outstanding 18th century dresser is adorned by an amazing looking, inlayed depicition of an antique soldier with his wife and his child surrounded by extensively designed round frames made of maple and ebonized fruitwood. The large depiction on the front runs over two drawers. Also a great highlight is the chest´s top plate impressing with another fantastic round double frame work by showing a depcition of two women within floral patterns in the center. Different sized frames, all made of different kind of woods like cherry, maple and (ebonized) fruitwood complete the extraordinary appearance of this neoclassical masterpiece. An incredibly crafted, one of a kind 18th century Italian chest of drawers - not only a precious item of rare Italian antique furniture...
