Catalogue Note
Jean-François Leleu, ébéniste reçu maître en 1764
Notre commode illustre la maîtrise et le soin avec lesquels Leleu savait choisir et travailler les plus belles essences d'acajou. Le placage uni met en valeur les lignes novatrices de la production de l'ébéniste durant la décennie 1780, notamment l'élégant détail des pans coupés rentrants encadrant la façade.
