About the Item

This elegant Louis XVI commode dates from the late 18th century, around 1790, and is crafted from solid oak with veneered panels and refined brass fittings. The rectangular body rests on tapered legs and features two drawers with framed fronts, original key escutcheons, and ring handles typical of the Louis XVI period. The design reflects the classical restraint of late 18th-century furniture - clean lines, balanced proportions, and minimal ornamentation emphasizing the beauty of the natural oak grain. The piece has been carefully restored and hand-polished with shellac to a warm satin sheen. The drawers run smoothly, the structure is solid, and the surface shows only minor traces of age consistent with gentle use. An authentic example of French neoclassical craftsmanship that integrates beautifully into both traditional and modern interiors.
