SWEDISH GUSTAVIAN STYLE MAHOGANY THREE DRAWER COMMODE
Probably Sweden, 20th century
Mahogany veneers over pine, marble top, gilt brass hardware
32 5/16" H x 19 5/8" D x 38 3/4" W
A Swedish Gustavian style commode with three long drawers, veneered in richly figured mahogany over a pine secondary structure. The case is raised on tapering legs with gilt brass sabots and fitted with a shaped marble top above a restrained architectural body. Brass mounts outline the drawer fronts and side pilasters, while the original ring pulls and escutcheons provide a refined contrast against the deep red brown mahogany surface.
The design reflects the Swedish interpretation of neoclassicism associated with the Gustavian period with clean rectilinear proportions, brass-inlaid fluted side uprights and brass cockbead moldings around the drawers framing simple circular ring pulls and keyhole escutcheons, tapered legs with triangular brass mounts raised in simple tapered cup sabots. The construction is benchmade in the traditional manner, with hand dovetailed drawers and pine secondary woods. The commode retains its original gilt brass hardware and marble top.
Condition: Vintage surface with a nice mellowed patina throughout, rubbing and use indicators, proper left side of case with a chip to the veneers in the upper back corner. Some rough spots and rubbing to marble. No keys. A very finely crafted 20th century reproduction, built to last, ready to place.
