The serpentined, marquetried and ormolu-mounted commodes are executed in the George III French manner and their bouquet-inlaid tops relate in particular to the fashion introduced in the late 1750s by Pierre Langlois 'bniste' of Tottenham Court Road, London. Being inlaid with husk-festooned urns on the tops, front and sides, their decoration relates in particular to that of a commode at West Wycombe Park, Buckinghamshire, possibly executed by Pierre Langlois Junior (d. 1781) (see P. Thornton and W. Rieder, 'Pierre Langlois, Ebniste. Part 4', The Connoisseur, April 1972, p. 272, fig. 12 and group XI).
