Pierre Roussel, maître in 1745.
This elegant parquetry commode is stamped by the celebrated ébéniste Pierre Roussel I (1723-1782) who received his maîtrise in 1745 and supplied furniture for the Palais-Bourbon as well as the château de Chantilly. Established in the rue de Charenton at l'Image de St. Pierre, Roussel was described as early as 1769 in the Almanach de Vray Merit as: l'un des premiers ébénistes de Paris. With trompe l'oeil fluted columnar corners, flowered interlacing quatrefoil mosaic inlay, and slight breakfront design, the present commode belongs to Roussel’s mature oeuvre in the advanced neoclassical style of the late 1770s. A related table a ouvrage en coffret attributed to Roussel with identical trompe l'oeil fluted rounded corners above tapering columnar legs, and similarly inlaid with illusionistic geometric parquetry, sold Christie’s, The Gyrn Castle Sale, North Wales Property from Gyrn Castle, Nantlys, Mostyn Hall and Capesthorne Hall, Llanasa, North Wales, 17 July 2006, lot 909.
