Provenance: de Loisne Chateau, Pas de Calais, Andre & Cecile Fink,1987, then the Estate of the late Fernande Glynn, a well known Australian actress that appeared in classic Australian TV dramas Homicide, hunter and Riptide. Catalogue note: this commode is a magnificent example of the type of commodes produced in the manner of Etienne Doirat (circa 1675-1732) in the Regence period. The relation to the work of Doirat can be made on the basis of overall form and kingwood parquetry and the gilt-bronze mounts, which are used on several occasions in his oeuvre (see J.-D.
