EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Boulle commode, created specifically for Louis XIV's room at the Grand Trianon in 1701. The intricate Rococo carving and elegantly bowed legs of this exquisite piece of furniture immediately catch the eye. Adorned with acanthus leaf decoration and guarded by French sphinxes at each corner, it exudes an air of regal opulence. The Grand Trianon itself is a splendid royal villa nestled in the verdant gardens north of the Palace of Versailles in France. Originally constructed in 1687 as a private sanctuary for King Louis XIV, it served as his personal retreat from courtly affairs. This photograph transports us back to the grandeur and splendor of the Baroque era, capturing not only the ornate beauty of this particular commode but also offering a glimpse into the lavish interior design and architecture prevalent during that time. It serves as a testament to Louis XIV's penchant for luxury and his desire to surround himself with objects befitting his status as "The Sun King". Nancy Mitford's book "The Sun King" page 176, provides further insight into this remarkable period in European history when kings ruled supreme and their palaces were adorned with such breathtaking antiques like this Boulle commode. This image invites us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance within the context of eighteenth-century France.
