The tables, commodes, and precious metalwork produced by the great workshops under Louis XIV should really be viewed as sculpture. They took Le Brun's designs into account and formed a complete ensemble with the wall decorations. Furniture by André-Charles Boulle included gilded bronze figures between the marquetry drawers, with curvilinear legs sheathed in high-relief foliage or scrollwork.
The picture shows the commode made for Louis XIV's bedchamber in the Grand Trianon.
