The richly detailed inlays highlight Vandercruse’s celebrated craftsmanship and mastery of form and proportion.

The commode is mounted with finely cast gilt bronze ormolu mounts, including corner brackets, drawer pulls, and decorative escutcheons, all adding a luxurious shimmer against the warm tones of the inlaid walnut and kingwood veneers.

Perfect for refined interiors, collectors, and admirers of French decorative arts, this commode embodies the sophistication and artistry associated with RVLC and 18th-century Parisian ébénisterie.
