The commode, brass-inlaid in the Louis Quatorze manner named after André-Charles Boulle (d. 1732), reflects the French antique fashion promoted in the early 19th Century by cabinet-makers such as Thomas Parker (d. 1830), who from 1805 acted as 'Cabinet and Buhl Manufacturer' to the court and may have made the case for Isaac Mott's 'Patent Sostente Grand' piano supplied in 1817 for the Marine Pavilion, Brighton of George, the Prince Regent, later King George IV (J. Harris, et al, Buckingham Palace, London, 1968, p. 133). Related arabesque boulle panels feature on the bookcase and furnishings supplied around 1820 for the 'Music Room' at Tatton Park, Cheshire by Gillows of London and Lancaster (Cheshire County Council, Tatton Park, 1992, p. 11).
