French Louis XIV Style Burlwood Commode with Gilt Bronze Mounts, 20th Century
About the Item
Commodes were first introduced in France during the reign of Louis XIV, towards the end of the 17th century. These early offerings were often constructed with luxurious veneers and decorated with ornate handles, escutcheons, and decorative mounts, all in bronze. Our French burlwood commode with gilt bronze mounts is a beautiful example of a Louis XIV style chest of drawers from the 20th century.
The parquetry pattern of the three tier chest of drawers is reminiscent of period Louis XIV pieces by the famed French ebeniste, Thomas Hache. Hache was schooled in the Italian style of design, often using a geometric parquetry layout as seen on our commode. The arrangement consists of quadrilaterals, rectangles, and roundels comprised of honey, light brown, and ebonized veneers that have stunning swirling graining, as a result of a wood burl.
A bronze chamfered molding surrounds the top, while each drawer has a pair of swag handles with floret mounts separated by a lively escutcheon consisting of curled leaves, scalloped shells, beading, and a mascaron with a parted leaf head piece. Two ogee bracket feet in the front transition seamlessly into a highly shaped apron, all embellished with bronze mounts (the feet have foliate tendrils surrounding a pierced cartouche with a scalloped shell medallion, while the apron has a scalloped leaf margent with a cabochon). Our beautiful Louis XIV style burlwood commode would instantly enhance any bedroom.

- Louis XIV Cherrywood Commode from France, Early 18th CenturyLocated in Dallas, TXThe straight grain and rich color of the cherry tree made it a desirable wood for constructing luxury furniture during the 18th century. One beautiful example is our period Louis XIV commode, which was hand-carved in France in the early 1700’s. Augmenting the lovely reddish-brown color of the commode is an arbalete top that slightly hangs over the three stacked drawers below. Each drawer has three bronze foliate fittings set inside geometric panels with recessed molding (two pierced foliate swag pulls flanking a small keyplate surrounded by a parted leaf). There is a unique, shallow pullout drawer with two concentric circle pulls built into the molded frieze. This drawer was most likely used to store jewelry and other small valuables. Canted corners can be seen along the front of the shaped top, with elongated asymmetrical panels beneath that flank the tiers of drawers...Category
