About the Item
18th Century French Louis XV Painted Commode with Galbé Facade and Bronze Hardware
A fine 18th Century French Louis XV period commode featuring a beautifully painted finish in soft blue, grey, and antique white tones. This elegant five-drawer chest showcases the classic galbé (serpentine) facade, characteristic of the Louis XV style, with graceful curves and refined proportions.
The commode retains its original form and construction but has been professionally refinished to revive its patina while preserving its antique charm. It is fitted with ornate gilt bronze hardware, including pierced handles and escutcheons, adding subtle brilliance against the painted surface.
With its Provincial character, this piece reflects the timeless aesthetic of Southern France—painted furniture that became fashionable during the 18th century as a lighter, more relaxed alternative to the formal Parisian styles of the Régence and early Louis XV periods. Originally designed for the dining room, such commodes today are equally at home in bedrooms, living rooms, or elegant entryways.
The five drawers glide smoothly, offering ample storage. Each drawer front features raised and molded panels with shaped rails, while the sides echo the same paneled design.
Dimensions: 53" W × 26 ½" D × 37 ½" H
A superb example of 18th Century French craftsmanship, this Louis XV painted commode is a decorator’s dream—equally suited to a modern interior with clean architectural lines or a rustic Provençal setting with stone floors and patinated finishes.

Louis XVI Style Ormolu Mounted Commode with Italian White Marble Top
Located in Miami, FL
A very fine quality Louis XVI Style ormolu-mounted commode or chest of drawers with an Italian white marble top that is truly breathtaking! Intricate inlaid marquetry design throughout, the front and sides of the piece as well. Remarkable attention to detail in the brass mounts and other hardware!
This beautiful Louis XVI style ormolu-mounted commode inlaid with marquetry and parquetry of rosewood, satinwood, possibly amaranth and painted wood inlays, some similarities to the model by Jean-Henri Riesener from Circa 1880. The breakfront white marble top above a conforming moulded cornice and a pair of large deep drawers inlaid with a central foliate, flanked by lattice and patera-decorated panels, the sides with similar panels, the angles with acanthus-cast volutes, on scrolled acanthus feet. The white marble top with striations and veins coming through.
Generously sized, the two spacious drawers are perfect for storing your belongings.
Would enhance any bedroom, living room, foyer, entryway or office and will have your guests conversing amongst one another about the pure detail and craftsmanship used in order to make it. Embodied with a sense of luxury and glamour, this Louis XVI Style commode or chest of drawers can be paired with a variety of other styles you may already have in your home or place of choosing!
Truly a show stopper and will certainly be a conversation starter at your next gathering! Would look wonderful with modern artwork hanging above and an 18th or 19th Century Mantel Clock (choose from our collection) on top of the white marble to further accentuate this beautiful piece of functional furniture.
Very good condition with minor surface scratches and small blemishes, but no significant imperfections. Age appropriate wear.
