SECRETARY IN LOUIS XVI STYLE WITH DEPICTION OF A SCENE FROM THE COMMEDIA DELL’ ARTE Height: 142 cm. Width: 68 cm. Depth: 40 cm. Stamped “CH Winckelsen” for Charles-Guillaume Winckelsen (1812 -1871) and “G. Trollope & Sons”. Paris, ca. 1866. Over conically tapering feed with ormolu fittings, brought together by a knot tableau surmounted by a vase, the single-drawer structure, which can be released by a pressure mechanism, rests over fluted legs with ormolu décor. Surmounted by a single-door structure with a folding door, with a four-drawer interior and open compartments and a leather writing surface dyed in green. Push-to-open cornice drawer with overhanging tiered green and white veined marble tabletop with surrounding ormolu baluster gallery. The structure is flanked by fluted and nodal columns and nodal columns decorated with three-dimensional animal feet. Notes regarding the marquetry: The sides with elaborate instrument marquetry, the front decorated with a scene from the Commedia dell’Arte, as shown in theatre performances in the same way for centuries: Harlequin, Columbine and Anselmo with a cane and tricorne on his head. This type of marquetry was originally designed by the painter Januarius Zick (1730 Munich - 1797) for David Roentgen (1743 - 1807). Januarius Zick frequently worked with David Roentgen to decorate the fronts of commodes made in Roentgen’s workshop. The stencil drawings for the marquetry and inlays were created by the artist Elie Gervais (1721 - 1791) and his workshop. One of the most famous Roentgen commodes with this Commedia dell’Arte motif was formerly held at the Palace of Versailles. In the 19th century, this commode ended up in the collection of Baron Mayer de Rothschild, the head of the big banking group. He kept the piece in Mentmore Castle. After the Mentmore auction, the commode was acquired by the Thyssen Collection, then from the Jack and Belle Linsky Collection to the Metropolitan Museum, New York. Further commodes from the Roentgen workshop with the same Commedia dell’Arte motif are held at the Bayerische Nationalmuseum in Munich, the Victoria & Albert Museum, London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
