class="content__text" A first look at what’s to come at TEFAF Maastricht in a week, from @Christophe_de_Quenetain. This “Louis XV Commode ‘de vernis a palmes riches’” by Antoine Robert Gaudreaus is an extremely important commode of the 18th century—the only other known example of this type is the commode held at the Residence Museum in Munich. Both commodes are examples of a crossover between Chinese creations through their inclusion of lacquer elements and the Parisian style exemplified by their shape and bronze. The commode was previously in the collection of the Prince de Ligne at the Castle of Beloeil, Belgium, and has undergone a restoration to the highest museum standard in 2022.
