An elegant Louis XVI period commode dating to the late 18th century, crafted in richly figured walnut and retaining a beautifully veined Breccia marble top. The restrained proportions are enlivened by fine geometric string inlay framing the two broad drawers and continuing along the paneled sides.
The commode stands on gracefully shaped legs joined by a scalloped apron, lending a softer, provincial interpretation to the otherwise neoclassical design. Each drawer is fitted with circular metal pulls and decorative escutcheons, complementing the warm tone and natural figuring of the walnut.
A particularly versatile antique with wonderful character and patina, this commode works beautifully as a bedroom chest, entry piece, or small console. Its combination of warm walnut, graphic inlay, and original-period character makes it equally at home in traditional or more contemporary interiors.
France, Louis XVI period, late 18th century, circa 1780–1800.
Height 34 1/4 x width 42 x depth 22 1/4 inches.
