The rectangular herm-footed commode is designed in the French 'antique' manner of the 1770s; its facade inlaid with cube-parquetry panelled by ribboned bands with Grecian-fret corners, is centred by a projecting tablet whose marquetry of a ribbon-tied 'love-trophy' medallion displays cupid's triumphal-wreathed weapons accompanied by flowered cornucopiae.
A related poetic trophy framed by cubed-parquetry features on a games-table with triglyph-enriched feet executed by the Stockholm cabinet-maker Nils Dahlin (d. 1787). This was acquired by the Nordiska Museum, Stockholm in 1919 (see S. Wallin, Nordiska Museets mobler fran Svenska Herremanshem, 1979, vol. II, pp. 114 and 115). While its patera-enriched frieze recalls the work of David Roetgen of Neuwied, the marquetry inlay also relates to the work of the Turin cabinet-maker Giuseppe Maggiolini.
