18th C. Swedish Rococo Period Black Painted Commode with Original Brass Hardware

About the Item

An exceptional 18th century Swedish commode from the Rococo period with original brass hardware, ormolu, and locks. This commode has a serpentine front, shaped top and apron to the front and sides, and is raised on cabriole legs. There is a pull-out tray above three spacious drawers. The Swedes refined the Rococo style to a lean elegance as captured in this beautiful commode. We offer expedited, fully-insured, custom packaged / crated, global shipping, including delivery to the door service, delivery to a receiver service, and white glove service, which includes inside setup with debris removal. Please inquire for more information. The Rococo period followed the Baroque period and is often described as the final expression of the Baroque movement. The period began in the 1720s and continued through 1770. Rococo takes its name from the French word 'rocaille,' which means rock or broken shell. This period was characterized by elaborately carved, smaller and more functional pieces, the cabriole leg, and cherub, fruit, shell, flower, and scroll motifs.
