This charming and elegant commode is typical of the late Louis XVI period and the triumph of neoclassicism, while also incorporating the regional characteristics of Eastern France. Its demi-lune shape stands out with its clean lines, true to the rational and balanced aesthetics of the period.
The décor, marked by great sobriety, highlights the rare wood veneers that adorn it. Rosewood, one of the most prized woods of the 18th century, is the central element, framed by amaranth and delicate marquetry bands with geometric motifs, offering a surprisingly modern touch that is characteristic of the region. The bronzes, subtle and refined, accentuate the elegance of the piece.
Furniture from Eastern France during the Louis XVI period is known for blending neoclassical sobriety with refined decorative elements, reflecting a taste for antiquity while also showcasing the originality of local craftsmen who adapted these influences to regional styles. All of these features are embodied in the piece presented here.
