About the Item

Bring timeless European elegance into your home with this stunning pair of French Directoire–style commodes, beautifully finished in a soft cream painted patina that highlights their refined classical lines. Each chest features four spacious dovetailed drawers, accented with original antique brass bail pulls and a signature Directoire shield escutcheon, capturing the understated sophistication of late-18th-century French design. These commodes showcase the hallmark characteristics of the Directoire period—fluted corner columns, tapered legs with brass-capped feet, clean geometric proportions, and subtle neoclassical detailing. Their warm cream finish gives them a versatile, neutral presence, making them ideal for both traditional and modern interiors. Use them as bedside nightstands, living-room storage chests, or elegant entryway pieces—the scale and symmetry make them perfect for a high-end designer look. The generously sized drawers glide smoothly and offer excellent storage for clothing, linens, or accessories. Light, charming distressing on the painted surface enhances the antique character without compromising structural integrity. Perfect for collectors, decorators, and anyone seeking authentic European charm, these Directoire-style chests bring together French craftsmanship, classical beauty, and functional storage in one exceptional pair. Measures 38 wide x 20 deep x 32 tall
