A bombé commode stamped Jean-Charles ELLAUME. Paris, Louis XV period, circa 1755-1770.
A beautiful bombé commode with a curved front and sides, opening with five drawers in three rows with exposed rails.

It rests on a red marble slab veined with gray, with a corbelled edge, perfectly complementing the contoured profile of the piece.

Jean-Charles Ellaume (1714-1814)
Jean-Charles Ellaume, also known as Ellaume or Allaume, was admitted as a master cabinetmaker in Paris on November 6, 1754. Established on Rue Traversière in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, he was among the renowned cabinetmakers of the Louis XV period. His work is distinguished by the quality of its marquetry and bronze mounts, as well as by the elegance of its curved forms.
Several of his works are now held in public collections and historic residences, notably at the Lambinet Museum in Versailles, the Château de Morlanne, the Château de Vendeuvre, the Château de Gizeux, the Museum of Fine Arts in Bernay, and Wawel Royal Castle in Krakow.
