It was commissioned in honor of a marriage and has remained in the Doria family since its creation.

TEFAF is pleased to provide a platform in which these relationships can take place effectively and where institutions are able to build on their collections as our Vetting guidelines support thorough research on quality, authenticity and originality too. ~ Designed and painted by the Italian painter Lorenzo de Ferrari (1680-1744), carved by fellow Italian artist Bartolomeo Steccone (died 1739) 'The Doria Commode' Tempera and oil painted decoration, carved walnut decoration, original carved spanish red broccatello marble top 91 x 136 x 53 cm (35.8 x 53.5 x 20.9 in.)
