Jacques-Philippe Carel (fl. 1723–1760) was a Parisian cabinet-maker (ébéniste), who was admitted to the cabinetmakers' guild in 1723 and specialized in rococo case pieces of high quality veneered in end-grain (bois de bout) floralmarquetry. Two almost identicalcommodes madec. 1755 at theFrick Collection, New York, are part of an unusually large group of commodes of almost identical shape, variously veneered but bearing the same mounts, apparently commissioned from numerous cabinetmakers by a singlemarchand-mercier, who originated the design and retained a monopoly of the mounts.[1]
