About the Item

This exceptional Maitland Smith French Louis XV style grand commode is a striking example of artistry, craftsmanship, and design innovation. The commode features extraordinary marquetry and inlay work, highlighted by an elaborate central medallion depicting a finely detailed scene framed with scrolling foliage and intricate geometric motifs. The optical illusion lattice inlay on the side panels adds depth and movement, demonstrating Maitland Smith’s mastery in blending traditional craftsmanship with creative design elements. Crafted in the Louis XV style, the commode rests on elegant cabriole legs finished with gilt bronze sabots, while its serpentine form and rich wood veneers evoke the refinement of 18th-century French decorative arts. The warm tones of the exotic woods contrast beautifully with the gilt accents, creating a luxurious yet balanced presentation. Functionally, the commode offers generous storage behind its paneled doors and drawers, making it as practical as it is decorative. Perfect for a grand dining room, formal entryway, or luxurious living space, this Maitland Smith commode makes a commanding statement. It embodies the brand’s reputation for creating investment-level furniture pieces that honor historical design while offering timeless appeal for today’s interiors.
