This commode, a type of chest of drawers, is a fine example of Rococo style furniture from the mid-18th century. Made by Matthijs Horrix, a Dutch cabinetmaker, it features intricate marquetry inlays depicting stylized flowers, doves, and other decorative motifs, highlighting the elegance and craftsmanship of the period. The curved form, delicate gilt bronze mounts, and marble top all contribute to the commode's luxurious appeal. This particular piece, dating to 1765-1770, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the refined taste of the Dutch aristocracy.
