Item # CC484

A Superb Pair of Late 19th Century Louis XV Style Gilt Bronze Mounted Marquetry Commodes

 

Marble tops above two drawers, floral marquetry on the front and sides.  Great quality heavy bronze mounts.

 

After the 18th century model by Joseph Baumhauer.

 

Joseph Baumhauer (died 22 March 1772) was a prominent Parisian ébéniste who originally came from Germany.  As the French found his surname hard to pronounce, he eventually decided to call himself simply Joseph, and this is the name stamped on his furniture. Although Joseph never reached the grade of master, he was appointed dealer and cabinet-maker to the king in 1749. He worked mainly on commission, particularly for marchands merciers, who bought the pieces of furniture as he made them.
