Lot 311: * Commode "Gerbou" – Louis XVI Style

Commode “Gerbou” – Louis XVI Style (Loc: FR864) A refined Louis XVI style commode distinguished by its break front architectural façade and sophisticated geometric parquetry. Handcrafted in solid cherrywood with rosewood and violetwood inlays, the design balances warm fruitwood tones with darker framing veneers. The six panel façade features burled reserves to the sides and lozenge pattern parquetry to the central section, bordered by ebony and boxwood barber pole stringing. Gilt bronze mounts include guilloché pattern pull rings and draped Neoclassical chutes. Resting on elegant cabriole legs with brass sabots, the piece exemplifies late 18th century Parisian Neoclassicism. Dimensions: 83 × 114 × 50 cm (H × W × D) [Loc FR864]
