About the Item

Antique French Louis XV or Baroque Commode France Rosewood Louis XV around 1740 Dimensions: H x W x D: 83 x 121 x 64 cm Description: French four-bay chest of drawers from the middle of the 18th century. Piece of furniture standing on stud feet and veneered in rosewood. The front is divided into two wide drawers below and two narrower drawers above. The bronze fittings mounted in the same way on all levels ensure that the three rows of drawers look the same at first glance. The design of the veneer also underlines this impression. Different grain patterns of one and the same type of wood discreetly divide the visible surfaces. The drawer fronts, for example, are divided into rectangular areas, while the sides and the top panel are veneered in a diamond shape. There is an old Paris inventory sticker on the back panel. Condition: Refinished condition with age-typical traces of use and environmental influences. Shrinkage cracks in the drawer bottoms and back panel have been closed, loosened veneers have been glued down, the fittings have been cleaned. You will find a similar chest of drawers in the reference book: Pierre Kjellberg - Le Mobilier Francais du XVIIIe Siècle p. 843

Louis XV Chest of Drawers, France, 1770
Located in Belmont, MA
This gorgeous French Louis XV chest of drawers dates back to around 1770. It was made during the so called Transition period, the time between Louis XV and Louis XVI. It already shows the plain and stricter design of the Louis XVI period, but has still some playful marquetry decor details which draw from the more pompous Louis XV style. The three drawers commode stands on four cabriole legs with bronze sabots. Between the first and the second drawer is a decorated bronze band. This beautiful chest of drawers has its original wooden top with its veneer decor matching the decor of the front and sides. The Transition commode has been expertly refinished in our workshop. The price includes costs for the exquisite restoration and the international shipping from Europe...
