The deep, warm hue of the burled mahogany veneer exhibits beautifully figured grain patterns, with natural swirls and depth that enhance its luxurious presence.

The commode features a restrained and clean-lined form, typical of mid-19th century French design, favoring a more understated yet solid architectural silhouette. It includes four drawers—one shallow drawer concealed in the apron and three deeper drawers below—offering both form and function. The bottom also has a concealed hidden drawer.

Crowning the piece is a finely veined St. Anne marble top, known for its subtle gray tone with white veining. The beveled edge adds a refined touch and a cool contrast to the rich wood below. This classic marble is prized for its neutral versatility and timeless beauty.

Set on simple ogee block feet, this commode exudes a quiet grandeur—ideal for anchoring a sophisticated entryway, bedroom, or office. It’s a piece that speaks to the enduring allure of French design, with materials and craftsmanship that have truly stood the test of time. See less
