A FRENCH ORMOLU-MOUNTED TULIPWOOD, MAHOGANY, BOIS SATINE AND SYCAMORE COMMODE

This distinctive commode is based on a series of famous 18th century examples by Charles Topino, (maître 1773). The signature mounts of classical urns on a naturalistic ground can be found on many examples of Topino’s work. For an identical precedent, albeit of smaller dimensions, see the Champalimaud Collection, Christie’s, London, 6-7 July 2005, lot 25.
