A magnificent and rare commode dating from 1700-1710, this piece is an exceptional example of marquetry in plum, walnut, olive, rosewood, and plum and walnut grain wood. The top features a composition of geometric reserves, circles, and hearts, connected by inlays that highlight the borders. The border of the top is made of plum grain wood, while the sides offer a classic bipartite composition with a diamond.<\/p>\n
La fa\u00e7ade l\u00e9g\u00e8rement galb\u00e9e s’ouvre sur trois tiroirs, dont le jeu de filets, bien que s\u00e9v\u00e8re, est adouci par le superbe spectacle des placages de noyer, de prunier et de palissandre. La verticalit\u00e9 des montants arrondis est accentu\u00e9e par le placage du bois de fil et par des filets sombres, caract\u00e9ristiques que l’on retrouve chez les Hache. Les poign\u00e9es et entr\u00e9es de serrures en bronze cisel\u00e9 dor\u00e9, typiques des cr\u00e9ations des Hache au d\u00e9but du XVIIIe si\u00e8cle, sont pr\u00e9sentes sur de nombreux mod\u00e8les de leurs commodes.<\/p>\n
This Dauphin\u00e9 commode from the Louis XIV period can be compared to the one presented in Le G\u00e9nie des Hache by Pierre and Fran\u00e7oise Rouge, published by \u00c9ditions Faton.<\/p>\n

N\u00e9 le 28 novembre 1664 et d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 le 13 mai 1747, Thomas Hache est le fils de No\u00ebl Hache, n\u00e9 \u00e0 Calais vers 1630. Ce dernier, compagnon \u00e9b\u00e9niste, effectua son tour de France lorsqu’il se maria \u00e0 Toulouse, o\u00f9 il s’\u00e9tablit et mourut en 1675.<\/p>\n
Thomas, born in Toulouse, began his journey across France and stopped in Grenoble, where he worked for the cabinetmaker Michel Chevallier. In 1699, he married Chevallier's daughter. Upon his father-in-law's death in 1720, he took over his workshop on Place Claveyson. A year later, he obtained the patent of Keeper and Cabinetmaker for the house of Louis d'Orl\u00e9ans, Duke of Chartres, governor of Dauphin\u00e9. With the help of his only son, Pierre, who succeeded him, he was very active, although due to the lack of a stamp, none of his works can be identified.<\/p>\n
