This three-drawer commode captures the flowing, asymmetrical lines characteristic of the Rococo style, with a shaped skirt and subtly cabriole legs lending lightness to its silhouette. The drawers are adorned with beautifully cast escutcheons, drop handles, and a rare original working lock and key, fine surviving details that speak to the craftsmanship of the period. The painted surface, a soft powdery blue-grey with warm undertones, shows a delicately worn patina, enhancing the age and authenticity of the piece. A carved floral apron and fluted side panels add decorative interest without overwhelming its refined proportions. Perfect for use in a bedroom, entryway, or as a statement storage piece, this commode offers both historical integrity and timeless beauty. See less
