Greek-style Commode By François Rubestuck, From The Transitional Period - 18th Century

An elegant Greek-style commode in satinwood marquetry by François Rubestuck (master cabinetmaker admitted in 1766). A Transition period piece from the 18th century, this commode features a slightly projecting front with two drawers without a central rail, framed by Greek-style friezes. It is topped with its original veined breccia marble, perfectly preserved. It is distinguished by its rich mounts of chased and gilded bronze, adorned with lion heads at the corner mounts. The keyhole escutcheons are decorated with elegant ribbon bows. The apron, located beneath the drawers, is finely decorated with a lion's head and floral ornaments. The cabriole legs are mounted on finely sculpted bronze sabots. This commode combines elegance and harmonious proportions, testifying to the exceptional skill of François Rubestuck.
