About the Item

A French Louis XV chest of drawers from the 18th century. This antique commode from France, with is subtle curves and bowed front, houses two half-sized drawers atop two full sized drawers, flanked within rounded side posts, and raised panel sides. Each drawer is adorned with shapely, decorative panels and fitted with ornate brass pulls and escutcheons at their center. The skirt is nicely scalloped, incorporating the carved feet into the fluid design. This piece has an old, black finish with a rich, textured patina; a reflection of its history and prior use. This 18th century French Louis XV commode would work beautifully in a bedroom, living room, or entry hall, perhaps adorn with a few decorative objects and one of our lovely mirrors hanging above.

Antique French Neoclassical Style Commode w/Black Marble Top & Scraped Finish
Located in Atlanta, GA
A French two-drawer commode, with shallow break-front design and marble top, from the early 20th century.

Neoclassical style hardware embellishes the front side posts, center of skirt, front feet and drawer fronts (ring pulls with escutcheon). The black marble top with grey veining contrasts nicely against the primarily stormy sea-blue scraped finish with bits of wood and white gesso that show through from beneath.
