About the Item

Truly the work of a master-level woodworker from Southern Germany, this four-drawer commode has a unique serpentine shape. Hand-carved (circa 1750) with a sinuous front, the chest of drawers has a beautiful burl walnut veneer that accentuates the supple façade. The wood has a honey-brown hue, pronounced burl grains, and a high sheen that exudes elegance. Each of the drawers has a bronze Rococo-style key plate of an asymmetrically shaped scalloped leaf, flanked by a pair of drop handles with floret mounts. The sweeping shape of the drawers are matched by the overhanging top with quarter-round edges, while the thick apron has a cavetto cornice that enhances the curvaceousness of the commode. Supported by two bun feet in the front and two block feet in the back, our serpentine commode from Southern Germany would elevate the décor of any bedroom.

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...
