专家说明

Marchand-ébéniste in Paris in the first quarter of the 18th century, Noël Gerard was considered among the greatest ébénistes alongside André-Charles Boulle and Nicolas Sageot. His clients included important figures such as the King of Poland Stanislas Leszczynski, the Spanish Ambassador, the Marquis de Castellas and the English Ambassador Lord Waldegrave.
A closely related commode stamped by Noel Gerard, with the same shape, central escutcheons, heavy double-scroll feet and fluting to the sides, sold at Christie's London, 26 November 2011, lot 133.
Another stamped by him was sold at Christie's New York, 29-30 March 2001, lot 245, reflecting the same attributes of the d-shape body, similar mounts to the handles, parquetry and fluting to the sides.
A commode sold at Bonhams London, 25 November 2003, lot 187, attributed to Gerard also shows identical handles, brass fluting and feet.
