Estampillée F. Lieutaud - Rare Et Splendide Commode Régence Galbée - 18ème Siècle

The mark "F L" corresponds to the stamp of François LIEUTAUD (1665 - 1748), received Master at the end of the 17th century,
He executed with Charles Boulle, some of the most beautiful furniture of Versailles.

The acts of a period at the time indicate that, exceptionally, King Louis XIV had granted him the rare privilege of being able to create and manufacture the bronzes of his furniture, since at that time only the corporation of bronzers had this exclusivity.
In the History of Furniture, the use of walnut for the construction of drawers, which is the case of our dresser, shows on the one hand a good Parisian work and on the other hand a neat work: c is a control cabinet ...
Later, with the shortage of walnut following the harsh winter of 1709, walnut will be replaced by oak.

François LIEUTAUD is one of the greatest cabinetmakers of his time. To this day, we find on the market, very few works of him, which makes our dresser, described below, a rare piece of furniture.
