Lot 535: * Louis XV Style Quilet Bombé Commode

Louis XV Style Quilet Bombé Commode A virtuosic Louis XV style bombé commode in cherry and walnut veneer, inspired by the sculptural work of Cressent and Latz. The double arched façade and swelling side panels demonstrate exceptional cabinetmaking skill, achieved through complex steam bending and precision joinery. A custom contoured marble top follows the serpentine rhythm of the frame, while gilt bronze mounts—including espagnolettes, foliate escutcheons and an asymmetrical rocaille apron motif—provide opulent Rococo ornamentation. Cabriole legs with bronze sabots complete the form. Height 83 cm; Width 114 cm; Depth 50 cm. [Loc FR792]
