Jacques Birckle, maître in 1764.
Birckle's production included numerous commodes and small tables decorated with detailed marquetry, with a recurrence of particular themes: vases of flowers, urns, draperies, ribbons, scenes à l' antique, landscapes and trophies, such as those on this commode. Several closely related commodes with trophy marquetry are known, including one sold anonymously, Chayette-Cheval, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 23 March 1995, lot 166; another sold anonymously, Christie's, Monaco, 12 December 1999, lot 991; a third example sold anonymously at Aguttes, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 12 December 2006, lot 216. A further closely related commode is illustrated in P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIIeme Siècle, Paris, 1998, pp. 73, pl. E. and a virtually identical example is illustrated in J. Nicolay L'Art et la Manière des Maîtres Ebénistes Français au XVIIIe Siècle, Vol. I, Paris, 1976, p. 59, Fig. F.
