About the Item

This striking French Directoire style commode, circa 1940, is a masterful work of craftsmanship attributed to Maison Jansen, one of the most renowned Parisian design firms of the 20th century. Featuring a bold ebonized finish with heavily inlaid brass accents, this commode epitomizes timeless French elegance and sophistication. The sleek black lacquered surface contrasts beautifully with the warm golden brass, creating a refined statement piece ideal for both traditional and modern interiors. The commode offers three spacious drawers, each framed with intricate brass inlay details and adorned with elegant brass ring pulls and escutcheons, adding both functionality and style. The clean, rectilinear form reflects the Directoire aesthetic, while the brass embellishments bring a touch of neoclassical glamour. Raised on tapered legs with brass sabots, this piece is not only visually striking but also structurally sound, designed to last generations. Perfect as a statement storage piece, entryway chest, or bedroom dresser, this French commode elevates any space with its luxurious design. Collectors and interior designers alike prize Jansen pieces for their enduring elegance, making this commode a highly desirable investment in fine French furniture.
