Catalogue Note
Adam Weisweiler, ébéniste reçu maître en 1778
Cette commode est à rapprocher de deux meubles, l'un conservé au musée du Louvre à Paris (inv. OA 5344) et de son pendant aujourd'hui dans la collection Huntington en Californie (10.3). Ces meubles présente une structure comparable et sont surmontés d'un gradin et décorés de plaque en Wedgwood et griffons en bronze doré ; l'esthétique de ces meubles, influencée par l'anglomanie de la fin du XVIIIe siècle s'inscrit typiquement dans le commerce du marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre, dont les liens avec Weisweiler, auteur du meuble que nous présentons, sont avérés.
