18th Century French Louis XVI Period Bleached Walnut and Burl Walnut Commode

About the Item

A fine late 18th century Louis XVI period Provençal commode, expertly handcrafted from walnut and burled walnut by skilled artisans in Arles, a historic city on the Rhône River in southern France, circa 1770s. Known for its rich artistic heritage and inspiration to Van Gogh, Arles has long been a center of exceptional craftsmanship, reflected in this exquisite neoclassical chest. Featuring a beautifully bleached or washed finish, this elegant commode boasts an overhanging beveled plank top above three full-length burled walnut panel drawers, each adorned with original brass laurel leaf ring pulls and escutcheons detailed with delicate ribbon and bow motifs. Carved, fluted stiles frame the piece, leading to short, fluted toupie feet that provide a graceful yet sturdy foundation. With its refined proportions, timeless design, and warm patina, this antique commode embodies the understated elegance of Louis XVI period Provençal furniture. A versatile statement piece, it seamlessly complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. Whether used in a bedroom, entryway, or living space, its classic beauty and exceptional craftsmanship ensure it remains a treasured addition for years to come.
