Product description
Parisian Commode, French Oak, Louis XV, circa 1780 – France
A magnificent and elegant 18th-century French oak commode, known as La Parisienne. The oak top features a beveled edge and molding that extends to the sides, which are beautifully hand-finished. The front is divided into three prominent registers or sections, adorned with impressive, oversized cast bronze fittings and gilt bronze shields. The front culminates in a skirt with a gently undulating profile. The commode rests on thick, straight legs that continue the fluted side panels of the front, adding a touch of design and robustness to the piece. An original, high-quality period piece. It retains its original label.
More about the Louis XV Style
The Louis XV style is an artistic style, particularly prevalent in the decorative arts, that developed during the reign of Louis XV (1715–1774). Initially, the term "Louis XV style" referred to a distinctive type of chair, but it quickly spread to all the arts of the period. This style was created by cabinetmakers as a result of significant technical advancements in the manufacture of wooden furniture. It is closely associated with the Rococo architectural style. Like Rococo, it features profuse decoration and attention to detail, in contrast to the later, simpler "Louis XVI style."
