Cômoda

Various artists/makers

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 539

Carimbada duas vezes na parte posterior com a marca do palácio de Versalhes, esta cômoda à vantaux (cômoda com duas portas e gavetas interiores) faz parte do inventário de 1792 dos apartamentos privados de Louis XVI. Roentgen, o marceneiro europeu mais importante do século XVIII—que serviu uma clientela internacional, incluindo vários príncipes alemães, Maria Antonieta e Catarina, a Grande—criou mobiliários inovadores com dispositivos mecânicos inteligentes. As três cenas de marquetaria na frente desta cômoda retratam cenários teatrais; personagens da commedia dell’arte italiana ocupam a cena central.

Commode à vantaux, David Roentgen (German, Herrnhaag 1743–1807 Wiesbaden, master 1780), Oak, pine, walnut, mahogany, and cherry veneered with hornbeam (partially stained), tulipwood, walnut, holly and maple (both partially stained), boxwood, mahogany, and other woods; red brocatelle marble; gilt bronze; iron, steel, and brass, German, Neuwied am Rhein
