The “Colette” commode, designed by Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann around 1923, is crafted from amaranth wood and silvered bronze, showcasing the luxurious elegance of the Art Deco style. The piece is accompanied by a certificate from Jean Marc Maury, an expert near the Court of Appeal in Paris. Its significance lies in its refined craftsmanship and its representation of the opulence of the era, highlighted by its presence at the 1925 Paris Exposition.
