The serpentine form is beautifully veneered in rosewood with intricate marquetry inlaid in satinwood, forming an elegant symmetrical cartouche of scrolling vines and classical motifs. The piece is richly adorned with ormolu mounts, including floral corner appliqués and female mascarons at the upper corners, each finely detailed and gilded to a soft luster.

The top is fitted with a shaped pink marble slab, its subtle veining harmonizing with the warmth of the rosewood and the golden hue of the mounts. Gracefully cabriole legs terminate in gilt sabots, completing the design with timeless balance and proportion. This commode’s scale makes it equally suitable as a statement in an entryway, a refined storage piece in a living room, or a chic accent in a bedroom.

In nice vintage condition consistent with age and use, the piece shows only minimal surface wear. The marble top is smooth and intact, and the drawers glide properly. A beautiful example of Continental craftsmanship that evokes both opulence and enduring sophistication. 32h x 35w x 18d See less
