About the Item

Delightfully scaled and finely constructed, this 19th-century French miniature commode replicates the proportions and elegance of a Louis XV-style chest in charming miniature form. Crafted in solid fruitwood with a warm, lustrous patina, the piece features three functional drawers adorned with detailed brass escutcheons and knob pulls. The rectangular top is fitted with a beveled slab of black marble veined in white, echoing the grandeur of full-scale commodes of the period. Handcrafted circa 1860, this petite chest was likely created as an apprentice piece or for use in a luxury boutique display. It rests on small block feet and exhibits quality joinery throughout, including dovetailed drawers and a fully finished back. Measuring just under a foot tall, it’s ideal as a jewelry box, tabletop storage, or decorative accent. In good antique condition commensurate with age and use, this miniature commode captures the refinement and charm of 19th-century French cabinetry in a highly collectible, small-scale format.
