French Petite Empire Mahogany Commode

About the Item

Four drawers and neoclassical details compose this outstanding Empirical commode hand-crafted in France circa 1810. This case piece is topped with an interesting piece of black, gray and white fossil marble that, along with the body, has patinated wonderfully over the decades. Iconic of the Empire style, two pilaster columns flank the bank of drawers, each having decorative brass caryatid capitals and neoclassical bases. The top frieze drawer and the three that follow all have paired swan escutcheon plates, and all open with one present key. Fierce lion head cast brass pulls allow for easy access to the lower three drawers. The whole stands on sturdy tapered feet and is covered with richly colored and beautiful bookmatched mahogany veneer. Make sure to view the detailed images to get a closer look at this fantastic commode.
