About the Item

Remarkable late 18th Century halfcabinet or so-called "Trumeau" commode from the "Josephinism" period in Austria. (called after Joseph II, holy Roman emperor in which he was the sole ruler of the famous Habsburg Monarchy for ten years (1780–1790) Elaborately handcrafted in Austria around 1780, this one dreamlike antique halfcabinet/ commode impresses with its amazing looking herringbone veneer work, inlayed nutwood and ebonized fruitwood stripes. This extraordinary, over 240 year old commode was part of the inventory of a manorial property and offers two doors and a drawer, which can only be opened when the doors are open. A traditional hand-polished shellac finish preserves the marvellous veneered surfaces and perfectly accentuates the ornated pattern. The artfully crafted original brass fittings complete the incredible look of this valuable masterpiece from the late 18th century. A unique, eyecatching late 18th century halfcabinet/ commode, coming in perfect restored condition.

Louis XIV Cherrywood Commode from France, Early 18th Century
Located in Dallas, TX
The straight grain and rich color of the cherry tree made it a desirable wood for constructing luxury furniture during the 18th century. One beautiful example is our period Louis XIV commode, which was hand-carved in France in the early 1700’s. Augmenting the lovely reddish-brown color of the commode is an arbalete top that slightly hangs over the three stacked drawers below. Each drawer has three bronze foliate fittings set inside geometric panels with recessed molding (two pierced foliate swag pulls flanking a small keyplate surrounded by a parted leaf). There is a unique, shallow pullout drawer with two concentric circle pulls built into the molded frieze. This drawer was most likely used to store jewelry and other small valuables. Canted corners can be seen along the front of the shaped top, with elongated asymmetrical panels beneath that flank the tiers of drawers...
