Cômoda

André Charles Boulle French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 542

Em 1708, André-Charles Boulle, o marceneiro mais famoso do reinado de Luís XIV, fez dois bureaux, ou cômodas, para o quarto do rei no Grande Palácio Trianon, em Versalhes. Os bureaux, uma nova criação na história do mobiliário, foram uma combinação da mesa e da cômoda, caracterizada por duas gavetas, em uma forma inspirada pelos sarcófagos romanos e pelos desenhos feitos pelo artista da corte Jean Bérain. A estrutura exigia quatro suportes adicionais criados na forma de uma espiral cônica. A cômoda se tornou um dos móveis mais utilizados na França do século XVIII. O exemplo mostrado aqui parece ter sido uma das primeiras versões criadas na oficina de Boulle.
