A Mahogany grande commode en tombeau, after the model by Charles Cressent.
This impressive commode has a serpentine green marble top, the bombe front forming a large drawer with bold moulded gilt-brass banding and lavish gilt-bronze mounts centred by a tableau of Diana flanked by canted acanthus wrapped corners on prominent paw feet.
Charles Cressent
Charles Cressent (1685-1768) was a French leading ébéniste and sculptor of the late Regence and early Rococo periods, becoming a master sculptor in 1719. He worked as both ébéniste and sculptor to the Regent, Louis Philippe, Duc d' Orléans. His furniture was often decorated with plain veneers, usually of satinwood and amaranth, or veneers in patterns of parquetry.
French, Circa 1870.
