拍品專文

The inspiration for this commode is derived from the bureau de roi commissioned by Louis XV from Jean-François Oeben (maïtre 1759) and completed by Jean-Henri Riesener (d. 1806). François Linke is recorded to have made a version as illustrated in C. Payne, François Linke, 1855-1946 – The Belle Epoque of French Furniture, Woodbridge, 2003, p. 498, index no. 720.
