Louis XV Style Commodes
Kingwood and tulipwood, ormolu bronze mounted, one with a serpentine “Belgian Rouge Royale, “ the other with a „Moroccan Onyx“ marble top with a molded edge, above a conforming case fitted with a pair of ogee doors, opening to four drawers. The front and the sides of the commodes is made out of a fine kingwood and tulipwood parquetry, each door with an oval reserve both depicting Ariadne riding a panther and a bacchante riding a goat, suspended from a ribbon knot, further decorated with floral garlands and medallions inscribed “Augustus, Constantine” etc. which symbolize wealth and power, and centering a relief plaque showing a female mask, raised on four curved legs
with ram heads and ending in scrolling feet. These two commodes are a near pair, both in excellent restored condition.
This near pair of commodes is made after an exceptional commode-medalier, a medal cabinet in the form of a commode, created to hold Louis XV’s collection of medals that commemorated great events of his reign. The commode-médaille was designed by the Slodtz brothers and executed by Antoine-Robert Gaudreaus. The commode-médaille is now in the collection of the Musée de Versailles, France.

Rococo Mirrors
A fine pair of German gilt wood console rococo mirrors, carved with exuberant foliate and shell motifs, hung with a garland of flowers and centred at the top by an endearing, fierce dragon, the mirror panes in two sections. In the early 18th century, King Friedrich August "der Starke" (1670-1733) of Saxony chose Dresden to be his glamorous cultural metropolis. As part of this program in 1709, the "Zwinger" -the name relates to its original position between the inner and outer fortification walls- was started. It consisted of an ensemble of beautiful buildings and gardens. One of the main artists to be commissioned by August to decorate the various rooms and galleries was the famous sculptor Balthasar Permoser (1651-1732), whose style was to remain dominant in Saxony and Brandenburg for the coming decades. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Zwinger was several times damaged and restored.
In 1945, it was destroyed, after which it took 20 years to rebuild it.
The present pair of mirrors, if indeed originating from Zwinger, was undoubtedly made after Permoser`s death. Apart from South German Rococo influences, they also reflect features from the works of (especially) Johann August Nahl and of Johann Christian and Michael Hoppenhaupt II, at that time the leading designers for mirrors and console tables. The major part of the work by these artists was executed for King Friedrich (the Great), August II of Prussia for their Potsdam palaces.

Art Deco
"It is more than a style; it is a reflection of a pivotal moment in human history. Emerging in the decades after the First World War, it embodies the optimism and cultural energy of a society rebuilding itself.
Designers and craftsmen sought to create works that were both modern and refined, drawing on new materials and technologies while preserving a sense of elegance.
The result was a language of form that is immediately recognizable yet versatile.
​
For collectors and institutions, Art Deco offers not only aesthetic pleasure but also historical depth, representing a time when creativity was both a response to hardship and an expression of renewed confidence. These works remind us that beauty often arises in the wake of struggle, and that the objects of an era can speak to the human spirit across generations.”
