This commode, made around 1750 by Adrien-Faizelot Delorme, embodies the Rococo style. It features intricate marquetry depicting chinoiserie scenes in gold on a black ground. The curved lines of the commode, its ornately carved legs, and the delicate floral motifs highlight the movement and elegance of the era. Its use of Chinoiserie demonstrates the vogue for Chinese and East Asian decorative arts in 18th-century Europe.
Comments
This commode is veneered with panels of lacquer removed from a piece of Chinese furniture, probably a screen or chest. Bending the lacquer so that it could be adhered to the curved surface of the commode was not easy. The commode is an example of chinoiserie, a European style that incorporated Chinese materials and motifs. The gilt-bronze mounts are devoid of Chinese elements.
