Avec sa forme et son décor caractéristiques, cette commode se rattache à l'œuvre de Pierre Hache (1705-1776), membre de la prestigieuse dynastie d'ébénistes grenobloise la plus connue du XVIIIe siècle. Fils de Thomas Hache (1664-1747), Pierre succédera notamment à son père comme ébéniste de Monseigneur le Duc d'Orléans.Une commode très proche, présentant une ornementation de bronze doré similaire, estampillée 'Hache à Grenoble' est illustrée dans P. et F. Rouge, Le génie des Hache, Dijon, 2005, p. 274.
