This commode exemplifies the refined and recognizable style of Claude-Charles Saunier. Its break-front form, harmonious gilt-bronze mounts, and clean, linear silhouette are hallmarks of his craftsmanship. The interplay of light and dark woods—expertly contrasted—further enhances the visual balance and sophistication of the piece.
Claude-Charles Saunier (1735-1807) became maître ébéniste in 1752 when he was just 17 years, born into a respected family of ébénistes. By 1757, he was working in the Parisian workshop of his father, Jean-Charles Saunier, located on the rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, an area which was well known for its furniture makers. While his early work reflected the ornate Rococo sensibilities of the Louis XV period, he soon embraced the emerging Neoclassical style that defined the transitional and Louis XVI eras—an aesthetic shift that would come to characterize his legacy.
His reputation extended far beyond France, his work was bought by wealthy clients, including Royal Households and European Nobility, and gaining international acclaim, particularly in London, through commissions arranged by the influential marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre.
Saunier’s furniture can be found in some of the world’s top museums, like the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Musée Nissim de Camondo in Paris. He is remembered as one of the best furniture makers of his time.
With previous restorations, marble top later, minuscule traces of woodworm to underside, rubbing to mounts, age crack to proper right side, some mounts loose, lacking original key, old marks and scratches.
