18th Century French Louis XV Painted Commode with Galbé Facade and Bronze Hardware A fine 18th Century French Louis XV period commode featuring a beautifully painted finish in soft blue, grey, and antique white tones. This elegant five-drawer chest showcases the classic galbé (serpentine) facade, characteristic of the Louis XV style, with graceful curves and refined proportions. The commode retains its original form and construction but has been professionally refinished to revive its patina while preserving its antique charm. It is fitted with ornate gilt bronze hardware, including pierced handles and escutcheons, adding subtle brilliance against the painted surface. With its Provincial character, this piece reflects the timeless aesthetic of Southern France—painted furniture that became fashionable during the 18th century as a lighter, more relaxed alternative to the formal Parisian styles of the Régence and early Louis XV periods. Originally designed for the dining room, such commodes today are equally at home in bedrooms, living rooms, or elegant entryways. The five drawers glide smoothly, offering ample storage. Each drawer front features raised and molded panels with shaped rails, while the sides echo the same paneled design. Dimensions: 53" W × 26 ½" D × 37 ½" H A superb example of 18th Century French craftsmanship, this Louis XV painted commode is a decorator’s dream—equally suited to a modern interior with clean architectural lines or a rustic Provençal setting with stone floors and patinated finishes. 18th century French furniture, Louis XV commode, painted French chest, galbé front commode, Régence style commode, Provincial furniture, antique French blue commode, French country décor, vintage painted dresser...
