Description

Unique gifts for her inspired by The Met collection.

The sumptuous jewel tones and gilding on a fashionable French commode (ca. 1740–45), or chest of drawers, inform these statement-making earrings featuring radiant glass stones that glimmer in the light. The Museum's commode boasts magnificent Chinese lacquer work, likely derived from a folding screen that made its way to Europe via the Coromandel coast of southeast India. Multiple stamps bearing the initials "BVRB" indicate that the commode was made by Bernard II van Risenburgh (French, ca. 1696–ca. 1767), a preeminent ébéniste during Louis XV's reign (1715–1774). His style is also identifiable by his use of elegant gilt-bronze mounts.
