A French late 19th century tulipwood, mahogany, marquetry and gilt bronze mounted commode a vantaux In the Louis XVI style after the model by Jean-Henri Riesener The double layered breakfront marble top above three frieze drawers and two panelled doors, one inlaid with a still life of a floral filled ewer and basket, 163cm wide x 64cm deep x 96cm high, (64in wide x 25in deep x 37.5in high) Fußnoten The above lot closely follows the designs of two models executed by Riesener, the first example was created by Riesener in 1778 for Louis XVI's cabinet de retraite at the Chateau de Fontainebleu and was later moved to his library at Versailles. The second was created for the bedroom of Pope Pius VII, also at the Chateau de Fontainebleu, in 1801. The purpose of the Pope's visit to Fontainebleu was to discuss with the then First Consul Napoleon the place of the Roman Catholic church in post-revolutionary France. The resulting Concordat of 1801 which consolidated the church's position as the majority church in the country also lent its name to the commode, Commode du Concordat. This model was copied by many of the great 19th century French cabinet makers including; Linke, Durand and Dasson. A very similar version of this model made by Durand was sold by Bonhams, Los Angeles, 8 November 2009, lot 1292.
