An 18th century Italian small commode, with marble top, fitted with two drawers and raised on tapered legs of square section. Width 54 cm. CONDITION REPORT: In our opinion the marble top is a later replacement. The cabinet is in generally good condition but has clearly passed through a workshop in fairly recent times. The top left and right hand corners of the edge moulding have been replaced. There are one or two small losses to the left hand return moulding. The sides of the piece are in generally good order with old surface scuffs and scratches. The drawer fronts have all had small repairs to the corners and small sections of crossbanding have been replaced. There are nibbles and repairs to all corners. The legs are generally solid without any breaks. The piece has been re-polished. The handles are actually keys and are later replacements as are the lock escutcheons. The locks themselves are old but probably not original. There is no evidence of any woodworm that we can see.

A FINE FRENCH 18TH CENTURY BOIS DE CITRENE BOWFRONT COMMODE, stamped by Charles Cressent (1685-1768), the top inlaid with olivewood, brass banded above two short and two long drawers with gilt bronze escutcheons and drop handles, the canted sides with foliated gilt bronze mounts and raised on shaped bracket feet, the short drawers are stamped Howard & Sons, Berners St. scroll work. c.135cm wide x 64cm deep x 84cm highProvenance: Purchased Sutton House 1951, the collection of Madam Van der Elst.This fine commode is a wonderful example of the skill with which leading French cabinet makers or ' ébénists' of this period handled their materials. The most renowned ébénists working during the Régence and Louis XV period, namely André Charles Boulle, Jean Henri Riesener and Charles Cressent, are thought to have produced most of their models from their own workshops and were celebrated for their talent in veneer techniques, specifically marquetry. In this commode the ébénist's desire to celebrate the characteristics of his materials can be seen clearly. Where ormolu mounts were often a dominant feature in French commodes of this period, they take a back seat here. The ébénist embraces the beautifully irregular striped grain and range of tones in the tulipwood. He masterfully manipulates and exploits the natural grain of the wood, cutting it at different angles and applying it to the body of the commode in panels of various patterns including herringbone, creating the illusion of multiple timbers. French cabinet makers were well acquainted with Tulipwood since the beginning of the Régence period. Tulipwood was known as 'bois de rose' to the ébénists of France, not to be confused with the rosewood. The small size of the tree limited the size of veneer that could be cut from it therefore it was commonly used for crossbanding and small articles such as tea caddies. Tulipwood was costly to source: therefore where large pieces of furniture were concerned tulipwood was primarily found in high quality pieces. the most exquisite aspect of this commode is the top panel. Rather than being concealed by a slab of marble, the top is decorated with radiating rosettes. In order to create each loop and petal of the rosette, the timber was cut at a dramatic angle against the grain in such a way that the rings of wood appear narrowed and stretched. Each veneer was then cut and shaped into identical tapering forms resulting in individual petals. When the pieces are arranged in a geometric fashion to each other it creates a flourishing flower effect. One of the closest examples of this kind of rosette inlay can be seen in the work of Léonard Boudin who was working in the 18th century. Of course individual rosettes are not uncommon decorative feature in furniture, however the ripple effect and the way in which the rosettes have been laid is quiet unique. The laying of each rosette side by side is reminiscent of oyster veneering, a technique developed by English Cabinet makers in the 1660s which became popular during the late 17th century. The commode is stamped three times 'C CRESSENT' to the rear carcass, possibly relating to Charles Cressent who was ébénist to the Regent Philippe d'Orleans. Cressent is known to have been a great master of Régence furniture and one of the leading ébénists of the 18th century. He was the son of a sculptor and grandson of a maître ébénist - skills which were passed down to him early in his life. Cressent was supremely talented in both art forms however from the time of his appointment as ébénist to the Regent he regarded himself as a furniture maker rather than a sculptor. His sculptural skills can be seen from the elaborate bronze mounts in much of Cressent's work. However, these skills landed him in some trouble with the guild regulators on several occasions throughout his career. Cressent began to cast his own furniture mounts, breeching guild laws as he was not part of the brass guild and as a result was brought before the courts and fined for the offense on numerous occasions. Despite the penalties brought against him it is apparent from the distinctly individual and elaborate nature of the bronze mounts that he continued to make his own bronzes. In the later stages of his career the focus of his furniture design shifted from the ornate bronze mounts, which became more refined, to the beauty of the wood. This was an important development of the Louis XV style was most likely driven by financial reasons, given the costly nature of his sculptural mounts. The lip of each top short drawer is stamped with 'HOWARD & SONS' and 'BERNERS ST' respectively. Howard & Sons was a firm founded in 1820 by John Howard who traded as a 'Cabinet Manufacturer' from 24 Leman Street, London. As the firm grew and established itself more and more within the industry it moved to Berners Street in the heart of the West End and began trading as John Howard & Sons, 'Cabinet Maker, Upholsterer and Decorator', 'The firm took part in many of International Exhibitions, exhibiting and winning awards at the Crystal Palace in 1862, Antwerp in 1894 and Paris 1900. Howard & Sons grew to become one of the most successful and leading firms in the 19th century. Their best known creation, which they painted in 1866, was the 'Elastic Seat' or as it is more commonly the 'Howard Chair'. The firm overhauled the design of the inner workings of the seat ultimately creating a more comfortable, superior and highly sought after seat. Howard & Sons ceased trading in 1947.
