Lot Essay

The distinctive high-hipped bombé form, parquetry inlay, rococo mounts and brass-framed angles all find close parallels in the oeuvre of Abraham Roentgen, particularly with a commode, circa 1750-1755, which belonged to the Erzbishof and Kurfürst Johann Philipp von Walderdorff (J. M. Greber, Abraham und David Roentgen, Möbel för Europa, 1980, figs, 112 and 113).
