About the Item
This French commode from the late 18th century is a distinguished example of the Louis XVI style, celebrated for its balance, geometric harmony, and classical inspiration. Crafted in fruitwood with walnut veneer, the piece exemplifies the refined taste of the period, where clean lines replaced the curves of the Rococo era.
The façade features three full-length drawers, each adorned with intricate marquetry borders in geometric and checkerboard patterns. This precise inlay work emphasizes the symmetry and order so highly valued in Louis XVI design. The contrasting tones of fruitwood and walnut enhance the natural grain, giving both warmth and visual depth to the commode.
Original gilt-bronze escutcheons and ring pulls, finely cast with classical urn motifs, add an elegant neoclassical touch while underlining the commode’s authenticity. The drawers are flanked by a solid frame that extends into tapered legs, typical of the architectural influence of the period. The slightly curved top softens the rectilinear form, adding a subtle sophistication.
Combining functionality with elegance, this Louis XVI commode embodies the timeless appeal of French neoclassical furniture. Perfect for refined interiors, it offers both practical storage and the charm of an authentic 18th century piece, making it a distinguished addition to any collection.
