Truly the work of a master-level woodworker from Southern Germany, this four-drawer commode has a unique serpentine shape. Hand-carved (circa 1750) with a sinuous front, the chest of drawers has a beautiful burl walnut veneer that accentuates the supple façade. The wood has a honey-brown hue, pronounced burl grains, and a high sheen that exudes elegance.
Each of the drawers has a bronze Rococo-style key plate of an asymmetrically shaped scalloped leaf, flanked by a pair of drop handles with floret mounts. The sweeping shape of the drawers are matched by the overhanging top with quarter-round edges, while the thick apron has a cavetto cornice that enhances the curvaceousness of the commode. Supported by two bun feet in the front and two block feet in the back, our serpentine commode from Southern Germany would elevate the décor of any bedroom.
