Lot Essay

The design of the commode relates closely to that of a pair adapted by Guillaume Benneman from a model by Joseph Stöckel supplied to Marie-Antoinette in 1786 for the Salon des jeux at Château Fontainebleau. The popular model was widely copied in varying degrees of quality throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
