About the Item

A French Empire walnut commode from the 19th century, updated more recently with blue paint in layered & scraped faux finish that wouldn’t look out of place with Gustavian style furnishings. The top is a slab of dark, nearly black marble flecked with tiny inclusions of fossils like constellations in the night sky. Note that there are multiple worn chips to the edges of the stone, see the image gallery for more details. In the case below is an overhanging frieze drawer, without hardware, using a pair of grooves carved into the bottom edge to slide open. Making up the body of the piece are three large drawers with textured brass knobs and shield escutcheons, however no key is present. The exterior surfaces have unique, painterly layers of light gray over pale blue that give the piece a sense of movement and dynamic color blending with the patina from daily use. Columnar pilasters on each side are emphasized with ebonized finish (coordinating with the stone top) accented with brass capitals and bases in Neoclassical motifs rising from thick, block feet. Cleaned and polished and ready for your interior. Make sure to view the detailed images for a closer look.
