A three-drawer commode in solid walnut, regency period, dating from the first third of the 18th century.
it has a pronounced bombé silhouette, characteristic of the regency/louis xv transition. The drawers are adorned with chased gilt bronze mounts featuring acanthus leaves, flowers, and rocaille motifs, with asymmetrical keyhole escutcheons in the emerging rococo style. The structure rests on four sculpted cabriole legs, joined by a serpentine apron with a lozenge-shaped geometric design. The back is made of adze-hewn planks, a technique typical of 18th-century provincial joinery.
the commode retains its authentic patina of use. Traces of woodworm are present on the legs, and natural cracks in the wood are consistent with the age of the piece. It is a high-quality piece of provincial craftsmanship.
workshop report: the commode is stable and usable as is. A more thorough restoration can be requested by the workshop. The original bronze mounts are of excellent quality.
dimensions: h. 81 cm – w. 117 cm – estimated weight: 60 kg.
