About the work
This design is part of a collection of works acquired by the museum at the same time. While the designs are evidently by different hands, this design for a commode has been attributed to Thomas Chippendale, a fashionable London cabinet-maker. This design is simple in form and while the curvaceous corners of the commode demonstrate the rococo fashion, the feet of the commode are heavier, giving the design a more sober form than some of Chippendale’s more flamboyant furnishings. Due to its simplicity, this type of commode could have been used within the more private rooms within the household such as the dressing room.
