Mathieu Criaerd, maître in 1738.
This commode is typical of the production of the ébéniste Mathieu Criaerd (1689-1776), who specialised in lacquer commodes early in his career and made furniture for the celebrated marchand-mercier Thomas Joachim Hébert, who was one of the main suppliers of costly lacquer furniture to the Garde-Meuble Royal in the 1740s. The most celebrated examples of his work are the blue and white vernis Martin commode and encoignure supplied to the 'chambre bleue' of the Comtesse de Mailly, the King's mistress, at Chateau de Choisy in 1743, now in the Louvre (inv. OA11292 and OA9533). Related commodes by Criaerd include an example framed with a similar gilt-decorated border sold at Christie's, London, 13 June 2002, lot 45 and an example of the same overall proportion and form sold at Christies, Paris, 14 April 2015, lot 108.
