Fontainebleau is a beautiful Regence style commode, reproduction of the original ormolu-mounted tulipwood and parquetry commode, designed by the Slodtz brothers and executed by Antoine Gaudreaux. The historic piece of art was designed and created in 1739 for the king’s use in Louis XV’s cabinet à pans at Versailles and it’s now in the Cabinet Des Médailles at the Bibliothèque Nationale.
Created by hand by Italian craftsmen, the new edition by Jumbo Collection is realized with marble top, an elaborate parquetry inlaid with geometric designs, and lost-wax casted bronzes marvelously chiseled and then gilded. In the new edition, on the two central doors, the mythological figures inside the oval medallions will have been replaced with light floral decorations.
The commode-médaillier is produced in a limited edition of 30 copies and is each single piece is provided with a special label that certifies its absolute authenticity.
Fontainebleau commode is part of Jumbo Collection’s Masterpiece Collection, a unique set of furnishings made in limited series, inspired directly by masterworks of cabinet making that have left their indelible mark on the history of European furniture.
