Lot Essay

Hubert Hansen was received maître in 1747 and his workshop was rue de Charenton, in the Faubourg Saint Antoine. Despite his early death in 1756, he produced furniture of high quality, exclusively in Louis XV style. His parquetry of bois de fil sur bois de bout surround by sinuous réserve in dark timber, as the commode offered here, is characteristic of his style.
