About the Item

A rather unusual French commode, given the approximate width of 60 inches, this sculpted oak chest of drawers was hand-carved circa 1860. A relatively thin (1 1/8 inch in depth) original marble top enhances the elongated appearance by gently overhanging the wood below. The sleek gray stone with white and black veining has a chamfered molding with round protuberances in the front, followed by more angular ones at the back corners. Foliate and flower margents surrounded by oval molding embellish each of the four drawers. Two full-length drawers are presented beneath a pair of half-drawers flanking a faux rosette keyplate set within a roundel. Identical keyplates are on both of the full drawers, while all drawers have circular bronze pulls set within the nature-inspired margents and molding. The shaped apron has a much longer margent that runs behind the central floral bouquet medallion. Additional leaf margents adorn the rounded shoulders, which terminate in a pair of volute feet. Both back feet are blocked, adding to the rectilinear nature of the side panels. Our beautiful French commode, measuring almost five feet in width, would make a fantastic addition to any bedroom, entry hall, or living room.

Circa 1820 French Restauration Commode in Flame Mahogany, Gilt Bronze Hardware
Located in Dallas, TX
Topped by a one-inch thick marble top, this commode has a beautiful mahogany veneer with flame graining and foliate and floral gilt bronze hardware. Hand-carved in France, circa 1820, the stunning chest of drawers is from the Restauration period, which is the transitional era of French history following the first defeat of Napoleon. The gray marble top with white and black veining has a subtle embellishment often seen during the Restauration: rounded front corners. Directly underneath is a drawer with flared tulip molding (molding of Restauration furniture is almost always thin and delicate), with an elaborate rinceaux mount, adorned with a shell, palmettes, and a supple floral swag drop handle. The drawer is segmented into four compartments, allowing the storage of smaller items. Three tiers of taller drawers form the main body, each embellished with a volute leaf keyplate flanked by a pair of swag drop pulls. The apron is also adorned with a lovely bronze mount of a foliate margent with a center rosette that spans between a pair of half-bun feet in the front (the two back feet are blocked). A beautiful example of Restauration period furniture...
