The distinctive form of this lot with its outcurved sides relates it to a group of commodes executed in the late Louis XIV and the early Régence periods, many of which are veneered with Boulle inlay (P. Grand, "Le Mobilier Boulle et les Ateliers de L'Epoque", L'Estampille/Objet d'Art, no. 266, February 1993, pp. 60-61, figs. 20-25).
A related example with similar elegant patterning of interlacing circles and diamonds was sold by Sotheby's, New York, 7 May 1983, lot 211 and again sold by Sotheby's, New York, 31 October 1987, lot 139. A commode of similar proportions and mounts with a later marble top is in the Rothschild Collection at Waddesdon Manor (illustrated in G. de Bellaigue, The James A. de Rothschild Collection, 1974, vol. I, p. 198, no. 43); and another is in the Museé Carnavalet (illustrated in S. de Ricci, Louis XIV und Régence, 1929, p. 184).

Overall with some scattered age and construction cracks as expected. Several shrinkage cracks with later fill including to backboards, sides and underside of top (not visible when placed). Evidence of old worm damage to underside (now inactive). The veneer with some scattered abrasions, nicks and repaired losses (not extensive). The brass inlay with some minor abrasions and rubbing. The ormolu re-gilt and now with some minor rubbing and tarnish. Side mounts later as are the mounts in between the handles and the foliate scrolls on each side of the central apron mount. The chutes are associated. With two keys, which do not work. Overall good, sturdy condition, a lovely example ready to place.
