Antique Louis-Philippe Vanity Chest with Marble and Mirror, Late 19th Century
Rare Louis-Philippe Commode with Built-In Vanity, “Chemin de Fer” Mechanism, Late 19th Century
This exceptional Louis-Philippe commode, dating from the late 19th century, is a true historical treasure from a manor in the Loire Valley. Combining innovative engineering with timeless elegance, it is a rare and sophisticated piece.
Ingenious and Functional Mechanism
The unique “chemin de fer” mechanism of this commode is distinguished by its upper section, which features a tilting flap. Once opened, it reveals an elegant vanity adorned with finely veined white marble. Beneath the flap lies a built-in mirror, perfectly integrated for daily use. For optimal comfort, the upper section slides forward, making access to the vanity effortless.
Generous Storage and Expert Craftsmanship
This commode offers four spacious drawers, two of which are equipped with functional locks and the original key. Made from solid oak with traditional dovetail joints, the drawers ensure durability and longevity.
The front, sides, and flap are adorned with warm-toned mahogany veneer, while the inside of the flap, crafted in solid mahogany, reflects meticulous attention to detail.
Mobility and Authenticity
Resting on four discreet casters, this commode combines practicality with stab ility. In excellent condition, it features a preserved period patina that enhances the natural beauty of the mahogany. The marble and mirror are exceptionally well-preserved, and the mechanism operates perfectly. Subtle signs of wear, consistent with its age, add to its authenticity.
Elegance and History
This commode once belonged to a distinguished lady residing in a manor surrounded by the vineyards of the Loire Valley. Each morning, she would gently open the flap to prepare herself with refined perfume bottles and finely crafted grooming accessories. This piece was more than functional—it embodied an elegant and bygone way of life.
An Exceptional Choice for a Refined Home
Both functional and decorative, this rare “chemin de fer” commode is perfect for enhancing a bedroom, bathroom, or dressing room with a touch of historical elegance. Its versatility and timeless charm will appeal to lovers of antique furniture and exceptional craftsmanship.
Ready to find its new home, this unique piece will continue to tell its story and enchant with its unparalleled character.
