About the Item

Furniture from the Regence period of the early 1700s incorporates elements from the reigns of Louis XIV and Louis XV, the preceding and subsequent styles, respectively. A beautiful example of this balance can be seen in our hand-carved walnut commode en arbalete from Lyon, France. Although the overall form is rectilinear, the chest of drawers has supple curves provided by the crossbow-like front, whose form is mirrored by the slightly overhanding quarter-round molding of the top. Both ends of the top have a significant in curve, offering a sharp juxtaposition to the two recessed linear panels that comprise the side of the main body beneath. The sinuous front consists of two tiers of full-length drawers beneath two half-drawers. All four drawers have large arabesque bronze handles, set within a rectangular molding embellished with a pierced, attenuated demi-lune leaf on the outer edge. A similar carving can be seen in the center of the two longer drawers, but with the leaf having a circular form with curled edges. The mullion between the two half-drawers has a smaller version of the round leaf that is more oblong. All four legs are blocked, with the front two being more splayed and thinner than the back two. The shapely apron is enhanced by an asymmetrical leaf stalk noix that accentuates the prominent bundles of leaves that adorn the pilasters above the front legs. With its brown hue and golden accents that have been enrichened by multiple layers of French wax, our period Regence commode will make a fantastic addition to any bedroom, hallway, or living room.

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...
