Richly-inlaid with flowers arranged in bunches and scrolls, this Régence commode relates closely to the oeuvre of the celebrated Grenobloise ébéniste Thomas Hache (1664-1747). One of twelve children and founder of the Hache dynasty of ébénistes, Thomas Hache is perhaps best known for beautifully made furniture of Régence design embellished with floral marquetry in indigenous burr-woods. His marquetry shows the influence of Jean Le Pautre's abundant Vases d'ornements, published in 1660. A related commode attributed to Thomas Hache, displaying more characteristic burr-woods and olivewood, is in the musée des Arts Décoratifs, Lyon, illustrated in M. Clerc, Hache Ebénistes A Grenoble, Grenoble, 1997, p. 48, ill. 9.
