About the Item

A Magnificent French Ormolu-Mounted Green Painted Chinoiserie Commode with Original Marble Top An exceptional French ormolu-mounted commode, richly decorated in vibrant green polychrome with exquisite gilt Chinoiserie scenes, and retaining its original veined marble top. The rectangular form is finely proportioned, with three central drawers flanked by paneled doors, all beautifully painted with landscapes, pagodas, blossoming trees, birds, and figures in the Chinese taste. The central medallion and surrounding panels are enhanced with delicate floral garlands and highlighted by finely chased ormolu mounts, underscoring the luxurious craftsmanship. The cabinet rests on tapered fluted legs adorned with gilt foliate capitals and sabots, balancing elegance with solidity. The contrast between the verdant ground, golden ornamentation, and the richly figured marble top captures the opulence and exoticism that defined 19th-century European fascination with Chinoiserie. This commode is not only a practical storage piece but also a work of decorative art—an embodiment of refined taste and artistry that would elevate any interior, from classical to contemporary. Its exceptional state of preservation, especially with the original marble top, makes it a rare and highly desirable example of fine French furniture. 39" high x 65" wide x 24" deep Very good condition, normal wear consistent with age and use. Comes with 2 keys. An exceptional commode / buffet.
