Framed by uprights of Raphaelesque 'grotesques', this commode relates to the work of the celebrated Milanese cabinet-maker Giuseppe Maggiolini (1793-1814), Intarsiatore delle Altezze Reali. A closely related commode was sold Christie's, King Street, "The Collection of King George I of the Hellenes", 24 - 25 January 2007, lot 550 and a pair of very similar commodes was sold Sotheby's, London, 4 December 2012, lot 510.
