Based on a model by Guillaume BENEMAN and Benjamin STOCKEL designed for Queen Marie-Antoinette and kept at the Château de Fontainebleau. Mahogany chest of drawers opening with two leaves revealing six drawers on two rows and three drawers in the waist. The front, divided by an arc of a circle, and the sides are adorned with a rich and beautiful ornamentation of finely chased and gilded bronzes such as foliage scrolls, friezes of oves and arrows, lion's heads and medallions in the center of each panel depicting the childhood of Bacchus after CLODION, framing rods and fluting. Veined marble top (restorations notably to the marble, insolation, accidents, missing pieces). Louis XVI style, late 19th - early 20th century. Height 95 cm - Width : 180 cm - Depth : 72,5 cm. This lot is presented by Mr. Cédric Henon. Note : Our commode is a remake of the commode delivered by the Garde Meuble de la Couronne in 1786 for Queen Marie-Antoinette's last stay in Fontainebleau. It was installed in the queen's salon des jeux. Guillaume BENEMAN (1750-1811) was a cabinetmaker originally from Germany, who set up in the Faubourg Saint Antoine as a free worker and was subsequently awarded the title of Master on September 3, 1785. He replaced Jean-Henri RIESENER (1734-1806), whose furniture was becoming too costly for the Crown. Under the direction of sculptor Jean HAURE, grand maître des programmes du Mobilier Royal, he created this commode after a model by Joseph STOCKEL (1743-1802). The bronzes were gilded by FEUCHERE. The porcelain medallions on the original model have been replaced by gilded bronze medallions on our commode. It can still be seen at the Château de Fontainebleau, under inventory number OA 5302.
