Jacques-Laurent Cosson, maître in 1765.
Leonard Boudin, maître in 1761.
The oeuvre of the marchand-ébéniste Léonard Boudin is arguably the most prolific of the Transitional period. Employing such ébénistes as Foullet, Denizot, Topino and Cosson, his stamp as marchand often appears alongside that of the maker.
With its characteristic rosette and lozenge parquetry within a rosette- trellis frame, this commode belongs to a distinctive group all of which were almost certainly supplied through the intervention of Boudin (P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIIIème Siècle, Paris, 1989, p.92). Closely related commodes include a pair stamped by Cosson, sold anonymously in Paris, Galerie Charpentier, 8 December 1954, lot 165; another, sold from the collection of Mrs. V.M.J. Wilson in these Rooms, 12 April 1973, lot 72; and another, sold anonymously at Sotheb's New York, 4 November 1989, lot 253.
