Restoration of a Transition-style commode stamped by the master cabinetmaker Leonard Boudin<\/a> (1735 in Paris \u2013 20\/12\/1807). Constructed of solid oak, it is veneered with amaranth, rosewood, and tobacco-stained maple. Its marquetry of boxwood, hornbeam, and holly forms panels on the front and sides depicting floral vases and covered pots. The front features a slight central projection and opens with two drawers without a central divider. Its rounded uprights rest on cabriole legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boudin, in fact, produced many Transition-style commodes of this type. They all share the same shape, but their decoration varies. For example, the bronze mounts remain very Louis XV. However, the feet are straightened and lose their crowbar-like feet. Furthermore, the keyhole escutcheons and handles are typically Louis XVI.<\/p>\n\n\n

Leonard Boudin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Born in 1735 in Paris to a very modest family, he began his career as a simple craftsman. He was quickly taken on by Pierre Migeon, a renowned cabinetmaker and merchant. After receiving his master craftsman's certificate on March 4, 1761, he established his own workshop on Rue Traversi\u00e8re. He continued, however, to work for Migeon and other cabinetmakers. From 1770 onward, numerous prominent merchants sought his services, such as Louis Moreau and G\u00e9rard P\u00e9ridiez. He thus acquired a great reputation for his varied and exquisitely crafted marquetry. In 1772, while maintaining his workshop, he opened a shop on Rue Fromenteau. Finally, in 1777, he moved it to the cloister of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
