拍品专文

This elegant bombé commode was executed in the Danish rococo style of the 1760s and is closely related to the oeuvre of the successful cabinet-maker Matthias Ortmann, who worked in Copenhagen between 1733 and 1757. A similar commode, bearing Ortmann's workshop stamp, is in the Kunstindustrimuseet in Copenhagen and is illustrated in H. Kreisel and G. Himmelheber, Die Kunst des Deutschen Möbels, Munich, 1970, vol. II, fig. 853. A pair of related commodes, of similar outline, drawer-arrangement, and with the same characteristic parcel-gilt decoration, was part of the elegant furnishings of the Prinsens Palae, the residence of Statsminister Ove Hoegh Guldberg, and appear in a painting by Wilhelm Haffner (1782).
(T. Clemmensen, Danske interiortegninger fra rococo til klunketid, Copenhagen, 1951, p. 20).

A walnut and parcel-gilt bombé commode in the manner of Matthias Ortmann and closely related to the offered lot was sold in these Rooms, 11 May 2000, lot 87 (£8,812). Another similar example was sold anonymously, in these Rooms, 19 May 1994, lot 164 (£4,800).
