拍品专文

Inspiration for this fine demi commode comes from the pair delivered by Jean-François Leleu (maître 1764; d. 1807) in 1773 for the duchesse de Bourbon's bedchamber at the Palais-Bourbon. Originally inlaid with fleur-de-lys marquetry, the lozenge-shaped front panel was re-veneered with mahogany at the time of the Revolution. The pair now reside at the Petit Trianon, Versailles.
Dasson, Krieger and Linke are recorded as having copied the model in the 19th century.
