About the Item

Exquisite Louis XVI Walnut Commode with Marquetry – France, c. 1780 A masterpiece of 18th-century French craftsmanship, this stunning Louis XVI commode embodies the refined elegance and symmetry of the era. Crafted in France around 1780, this three-drawer chest is made from luxurious nut wood and features exquisite marquetry inlays in various fruitwoods, creating an intricate and harmonious design. Timeless Beauty & Exceptional Craftsmanship The commode showcases a striking veneered façade adorned with geometric and neoclassical motifs, characteristic of the Louis XVI style (Louis-seize). The inlays feature contrasting tones, forming a delicate yet structured decorative scheme. At the center of the drawers, a beautifully detailed classical urn motif adds a regal touch, framed by subtle borders and refined diamond-shaped keyholes.
