Antique Solid and Carved Portuguese Rosewood Commode with Metal Handles
About the Item
The showcased antique Portuguese commode is a striking example of mid-18th-century craftsmanship. Constructed from solid rosewood, it presents a rich, deep hue, typical of the high-quality wood favored during this period for its durability and the ornate grain that lends itself beautifully to furniture making.
This commode features a serpentine front, a design element that adds a sense of movement and elegance to its appearance. The top of the commode is smoothly finished, allowing the natural beauty of the rosewood to shine, and it provides a substantial surface area that could be used for display or practical purposes in a contemporary setting.
A distinguishing characteristic of this piece is the intricate carving found on the lower skirt and feet, exemplifying the skill and attention to detail that were hallmarks of the era's furniture artisans. The commode stands on cabriole legs, with subtle curves that end in classic scrolled feet, giving the piece a stately and grounded presence.
The front of the commode is adorned with metal handles on each of its four drawers, which provide a lovely contrast to the dark wood. These handles are not merely functional but also enhance the aesthetic with their ornamental design, which may include motifs such as foliage or geometric patterns, common in 18th-century decorative arts.
Inside, the drawers reveal hand-cut dovetail joints, further evidence of the piece's authenticity and the craftsmanship of the time. This antique commode is not only a functional piece of storage furniture but also a collector's item, reflecting the rich history and artistry of Portuguese woodwork from the mid-1700s.
