An early 19th century French Louis XVI style miniature sampler commode, hand-crafted of solid cherry wood. Nice proportions and simple details with front framed by rounded fluted corners. Top has bullnose edge and rounded corners. Turned spool feet. Three drawers with brass diamond shaped escutcheons. Locks are present but are not in working order, and there are two small keys. Good craftsmanship using pegged construction. Often called an apprentice or "sample" piece (maîtrise), these high-quality miniatures were built by craftsmen to demonstrate mastery over complex veneer techniques or to showcase furniture designs to wealthy clients before committing to full-sized builds. Perfect for storing treasured objects or for use as a jewelry box or men's valet. Circa 1800-1820
