Mid 18th Century French Walnut Commode with Marble Top

About the Item

A Mid 18th Century French Provincial Walnut Commode with Original Grey Marble Top of Small Proportions. This two drawer, walnut commode was conceived in the late rococo manner by a provincial maker in France. The original overhanging grey marble top has a serpentine front edge. This in turn echoes the shape of the apron to the base of the piece. The marble top is of very fine quality with a deeply carved edge moulding. The piece has also acquired a nice patination with plenty of variation in colour. Standing on restrained cabriole legs with stylised hoof feet. Having panelled sides and carving to the pilasters.

The piece consists of three long drawers with original ormolu escutcheon plates and handles and a key. The commode is decorated entirely in parquetry in a range of woods such as kingwood and what appears to be olive wood or cocus. The top drawer front employs a simple repeating geometric relief but the other drawers, and the sides of the commode, employ panels of oyster veneered timber set in to geometric frames. Oyster veneering, or oystering, involves cutting through small branches or roots creating small oyster shell-like veneers and then inlaying them in decorative panels. The decoration on the this commode is abstract veneers of contrasting shapes, sizes and colours being laid next to each other in a pattern. This extremely unusual commode...
