English Painted Wood Four-Drawer Commode with Scrollwork Motifs, circa 1880

About the Item

An English painted wood four-drawer commode from the late 19th century, with old paint, new scrollwork motifs and turnip feet. Born in England during the later years of the 19th century, this delightful painted wood commode captures the essence of charming English decor with its aged finish and artful details. The commode features a rectangular top with beveled edges, gracefully perched above four drawers—two smaller ones over two larger ones—each adorned with freshly painted scrollwork motifs intertwined with delicate foliage. The antique cream paint, with its naturally distressed patina, lends the piece a warm and inviting character that is only enhanced by its lovely decorative accents. The commode rests on four turned turnip feet, adding a touch of whimsy and visual interest, while providing a sturdy base. Perfectly suited for a bedroom, living room, or hallway, this English four-drawer commode circa 1880 effortlessly blends functionality with timeless style. Use it to store linens, clothing, or household essentials, or display cherished accessories on its flat top to create a personalized vignette. With its clean lines and elegant presence, this charming commode will infuse any space with a relaxed, understated elegance that is quintessentially British, bridging the past with the present in your home.
