French Carved & Painted Chest with Marble Top, Early 20th C

About the Item

A French painted & carved wood raised chest with marble top from the early 20th century. This antique chest from France features a rectangular-shaped white marble top with gray veining and pronounced rounded front corners, resting atop a case with rounded and fluted side posts which flank three graduated dovetailed drawers, with round bail-pull handles flanking the escutcheon at their centers. This commode is presented upon conical legs with fluted carvings metal feet. This piece has a pale blue finish, which still allows some of the natural wood grain to show through, and is accented with a gold accent trim. Please note that the original marble top has some slight stain/yellowing at it's top (see images for further details). This French raised and marble top chest, circa 1920's, would make a great side chest for a bed or sofa, or perhaps a sweet place to store hand towels and other items in a powder room.

  • Pair of French Brass Gallery & Marble Top Mahogany Side Chests, Early 20th C.
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    A French near-pair of marble-top side chests with lower shelf, from the early 20th century. These antique commodes from France each feature a rectangular-shaped white marble top, surrounded with a raised brass gallery on three sides, atop a case which houses a pair of stacked dove-tailed drawers. The tables are raised nicely upon squared tapering legs, that terminate into peg feet. A lower self with elegant concaved front braces the legs at underside of the table. Please note that this is a near-pair of tables; their differences upon close inspection would be mismatched pulls on the lower drawer fronts, and the addition of brass trim outlining the drawer fronts and side panels on one table only. Should these pieces be separated, the differences would likely go unrecognized. These early 20th century French commodes, with gallery...
