Description

MAGNIFICENT LOUIS XVI COMMODE, ESTAMPILLEE by jean-François LELEU (1729-1807) Louis XVI period chest of drawers in blond Cuban mahogany. Rectangular quadrangular shape with tripartite front and central projection The rounded fluted uprights with internal recesses set back from the profile of the front and sides rest on a round fluted foot on the smooth side with dovetail mounting. It opens with three drawers, the 1st modified upper drawer with a tilting front revealing interior drawers. The lower drawers are wider and have no crossbar. The entire design is highlighted by sharp-edged moldings, giving this chest its distinctive personality. The whole piece is topped with Aleppo marble, whose molded, projecting contours match those of the tripartite front. With key H : 90 cm W : 126 cm D : 58 cm In its original condition, with mending in the top drawer Jean-François Leleu was an excellent cabinetmaker who apprenticed in Jean-François Oeben's workshop. His style represents late Louis XV and neoclassical Louis XVI, with more severe, monumental forms. These include structures with fluted pilasters at the corners and friezes of ivy tracery. This commode is typical of Jean-François Leleu's work of the 1780s. It is probably in his mahogany work that Leleu's genius for proportion and line is most evident. He was an early adopter of mahogany, the fashion for which was launched in the 1760s, "notably by Madame de Pompadour, who at the time of her death in 1764 owned seventeen mahogany commodes", and spread in the 1770s.
