Comò

ca. 1710–20
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 542
Nel 1708 Boulle, il più famoso ebanista del regno di Luigi XIV, fece due bureaux, o comò, per la camera da letto del re nel palazzo Grand Trianon di Versailles. Questi bureaux, una nuova creazione nella storia del mobile, erano una combinazione di tavolo e della commode, caratterizzata da due cassetti, con una forma che si ispirava ai sarcofagi e motivi eseguiti dal disegnatore di corte Jean Bérain. La struttura richiedeva quattro ulteriori sostegni creati a forma di spirale affusolata. La commode divenne uno dei mobili più ripetuti nell’arredamento settecentesco in Francia. L’esempio qui presentato pare fosse una delle prime versioni create nella bottega di Boulle.
