Note du spécialiste

Whilst it has not been possible to attribute this commode it is interesting to note that it exhibits a number of features frequently associated with Thomas Chippendale's workshop including the handle pattern and various constructional traits: such as the use of red wash to the structural timbers, laminated block construction to the feet, contemporary transit tacks and remnant of central transit label to underside. The presence of these distinctive features, in combination with the overall quality of the design, construction and workmanship raises the possibility that it may have been produced by a cabinet-maker who had either been exposed to or trained in Chippendale's workshop.
