拍品专文

The form of this sacristy chest is inspired by the work of the ébéniste Alexandre-Jean Oppenordt (c.1639-1715). A related commode of en tombeau form attributed to him and after a design by Jean Bérain is in the Wallace Collection (F405) and is illustrated in P. Hughes, The Wallace Collection Catalogue of Furniture II, London, 1996, pp. 633 and 637.
