The drawers retain their original gilt bronze pulls and matching escutcheons, adding warmth and authenticity to the piece.
Raised on delicate escargot feet over a scalloped apron, the commode displays beautiful movement from every angle. The side panels are inset and molded, a hallmark of fine Bordeaux craftsmanship of the period. The richly patinated mahogany surface reveals exceptional depth and character, with warm reddish-brown tones and natural figuring throughout.
Elegant yet versatile, this antique French commode would work beautifully in a bedroom, entryway, living room, or dining room, offering both practical storage and timeless presence. Excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with a lustrous patinated finish and original hardware.
