Jacques Dubois, maître in 1742.

Jacques Dubois (1694-1763) worked as an ouvrier privilegié in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine before achieving his maîtrise. Elected a juré of the guild in 1752, he was one of the most prolific cabinet-makers in the Louis XV period. This exquisite lacquer commode illustrates the best of Dubois' oeuvre that is characterized by graceful lines and finely cast rococo mounts. The inventory taken after his death revealed an extensive workshop and included a small group of costly pieces in Chinese or Japanese lacquer, listing 'un bureau en lac de Chine' and 'un petite secrétaire en lac de japon' each valued at '200 L'. It further listed a large stock of bronze mounts, indicating the possibility that Dubois retained exclusive use of his own model of mounts.
The sinuous mounts on this commode, with elaborate encadrements and S-form handles, feature with variations on some of the richest creations from Dubois’s workshop, for instance on a pair of floral marquetry commodes stamped by both Dubois and Migeon in a private collection in Paris (illustrated in A. Pradère, Les Ebénistes Français de Louis XIV à la Révolution, Paris, 1989, p. 168), and on a commode veneered in bois satiné in the Rothschild Collection, Waddesdon Manor (illustrated in G. de Bellaigue, The James A. de Rothschild Collection at Waddesdon Manor: Furniture, Clocks and Gilt Bronzes, Fribourg, 1974, vol. I, pp. 218-220, cat. 47). A further almost identical lacquer commode, possibly even the pair to the commode offered here, is illustrated in Pradère, op. cit., p. 170, fig. 147 (with Segoura, Paris).
