Designed in the 18th-century Chinoiserie revival style, each commode features an elegant bombe form with sweeping curves and cabriole legs, exuding Old World sophistication. The black lacquered ground is richly hand-painted with Chinoiserie motifs including landscapes, pagodas, figures, birds, and floral details, all executed in striking gilt and polychrome tones that bring vibrancy and depth to the surface.

The commodes are further enhanced by ornate bronze ormolu mounts at the corners, escutcheons, and feet, lending a refined contrast to the hand-painted decoration. Their large size makes them highly functional while retaining an air of opulence. Each piece offers ample storage with multiple drawers, ideal for use as statement bedroom dressers, elegant sideboards, or luxurious accent pieces in a formal living room or grand entryway.

These Maitland Smith commodes are perfect for collectors and interior designers seeking Chinoiserie-inspired furniture that blends European craftsmanship with Eastern decorative themes. A rare find, they are versatile enough to complement both traditional and eclectic interiors, making them a timeless investment in fine design.
