About the Item

Hand-carved in walnut wood during the 1700s, this lovely commode hails from Bordeaux, France. The top has a subtle arbalete curve with quarter-round molding, while the sides have a more definitive protruding shape. All three drawers have well-carved fronts consisting of two shaped panels that flank a heart-shaped console with leaf tendrils. Additional foliate motifs in the form of margents have been carved outside of the shapely panels with rich molding. Each drawer has been affixed with a pair of bronze handles detailed with volutes and pot feu. In the center of the drawer is an escutcheon of flowers, patterned ground, and a shell. The highly sinuous front apron is paired with crossbow forms on the two galbee sides. A thick and undulating pilaster with thin molding separates the sides from the front, enhancing the curves of the chest of drawers. The 18th-century commode has a rich dark brown patina, making it an attractive and functional option for any bedroom of the house.

Rare 18th Century Commode with Side Doors Walnut, Rhone Valley, France
Located in Dallas, TX
Walnut and burled walnut. In 1700s France, the commode was considered the finest piece of furniture in the chateau. It was also placed in the most important areas so it could be seen. This particular commode from Bourgogne or Vallee du Rhone area, is very rare in its shape and storage area. The shaped sides are small cabinets with one shaped shelf each. Each door opens to the back so that the contents are kept private from any guests. The 'galbee' front features three full drawers with brass hardware. The veneered wooden insets on the drawers and sides are all burled walnut wood. All this rests upon four outward shaped feet. There are three keys for opening the side cabinets and front drawers.

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...
