About the Item
A stunning 18th century French guaiac wood and walnut commode with shaped, marble top. Having a very nice shaped front and moulded panel sides, with excellent use of solid guaiac wood. Having moulded, canted corner panels to the front, with three deep drawers, ornate drop bar handles and escutcheons. Standing on short, scrolled cabriole legs.

It is a tree growing in the tropical zones of South America, mainly in the West Indies.

- 18th Century Walnut Wood Crossbow Commode from Provence, FranceLocated in Dallas, TXIn French, arbalete means “crossbow” and is typically used to describe the shape of furniture when the frontage has been carved in a sinuous manner.

Two iron swag handles are affixed to each of the three stacked drawers by parted shell mounts. In between the pulls is a sinuous plate that surrounds a keyhole. Each drawer maintains the arbalete structure created by the thinly molded top. The apron is highly shaped, with many small arbaletes strung together. In the center is a gadrooned leaf and floret medallion surrounded by volute scrolls. The sides are straight but consist of recessed rectangular panels with asymmetrical tops...Category
