The piece is distinguished by its remarkably well-matched flame mahogany veneers, which create a dramatic, book-matched "v-shaped" grain pattern across the three main drawer fronts and the ogee-molded top drawer. The thick Gris Sainte-Anne marble top with a rounded edge, showing beautiful natural fossilization and character. Three deep drawers provide ample storage, topped by a characteristic "hidden" ogee frieze drawer as well as a discreetly integrated "hidden" plinth drawer at the very bottom. A rare feature, this commode rests on its original turned bun feet, providing a more refined and elevated stance than the more common block or plinth bases. See less
