About the Item

18th-Century Italian Painted Commode Chest of Drawers 📜 Provenance – 18th-Century Italian Painted Commode, circa 1770 Discovered on a recent sourcing trip through northern Tuscany, this exceptional 18th-century Italian painted commode was acquired from a private estate near Lucca — a noble family residence with documented lineage tracing back to the Grand Duchy period. The commode was positioned in a formal reception room, where its hand-painted floral motifs and curvaceous Rococo lines would have once served as both functional storage and a symbol of refined taste. Styled interiors are for presentation purposes and intended to inspire. Final layout may vary The commode’s decorative language — sinuous scrollwork, faded gilt flourishes, and richly patinated surface — aligns with the transitional aesthetic of late Baroque into Rococo design, popular among Tuscan artisans circa 1770. Its oak-lined drawers and solid mahogany framework remain intact, bearing witness to the superior regional craftsmanship of the time. This piece is presented in a carefully conserved state: its original painted decoration and brass hardware have been gently cleaned to preserve authenticity while enhancing its visual harmony. Light surface wear, minor chips to the paint, and the natural irregularities in its inlay work all contribute to its documented antique condition and historic integrity. Its provenance, artistic merit, and robust construction make it an exemplary collector’s piece — one that bridges decorative art and functional design. Whether placed in a curated modern interior or among period antiques, this commode offers a rare opportunity to acquire a tangible piece of Italian design history. This 18th-century Italian painted commode chest of drawers perfectly blends Rococo-style furniture, elegance and rustic charm. It showcases Italian craftsmanship and provides practical storage for modern interiors. Here’s what makes this piece truly exceptional: A gracefully curved front, along with three spacious, oak-lined drawers, offers both style and functionality. Intricate floral motifs and scrollwork are hand-painted to enhance their artistic appeal. Ornate brass handles and corner flourishes further elevate its sophisticated design. A distressed, antique patina that adds character while celebrating its rich history. Additionally, the beautifully aged top surface tells a story of its own, making this piece a standout addition to any home. Whether you are decorating a classic interior or a more modern space, this vintage Italian furniture transitions seamlessly between styles. Furthermore, its durability and craftsmanship ensure that this painted chest of drawers will remain a cherished piece for generations to come. With its timeless charm and practical functionality, it serves as both a decorative and functional centrepiece. Please keep in mind that this is a large and heavy commode, reflecting its sturdy construction and historical authenticity. Therefore, it’s not just a piece of furniture but a work of art that speaks to a bygone era of elegance and craftsmanship. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this remarkable 18th-century Italian commode. It’s more than furniture—it’s a legacy.
