Roger Vandercruse dit La Croix, received master in 1755From the 1770s, La Croix began to use more and more mahogany and satiné veneer, instead of marquetry, such as on our commode. The gilt-bronze ornements, reduced to the minimum, enhanced the beauty and the brightness of the veneer (see C. Roinet, Roger Vandercruse dit La Croix, Paris, 2000, p. 102).
One must also notice the défoncés on the upper drawers and the legs, to make the light shine on the different surfaces. Lastly, the square tapered legs can be pointed in La Croix's works under Louis XVI, as the pair of commodes made for the comte d'Artois at Compiègne (see C. Roinet, op. cit., p. 83, fig. 30).
