Pair of Late 19th Century Louis XV Style Petit Bombe Chest of Drawers

About the Item

Fine French late 19th century Louis XV style around 1890 fruitwood floral marquetry and bronze mounted two drawer bombe petit commode. The serpentine shaped chest of two drawers, each with a pair of scrolled floral handles and a marquetry floral bouquet tied with ribbons and a similar marquetry work on both sides, fitted with a marble top. The interior of the drawers is made of oak wood. The front and sides are covered in a separate walnut/nutwood. The marquetry is made of fruitwood. In very good restored and handpolished condition. This is a pair of stunning French Commodes from the late 19th century in the classic Louis XV style, dating around 1890. Made from fruitwood, these two drawers boast intricate floral marquetry and bronze mounting that truly embodies the elegance and sophistication of the Louis XV period. The serpentine shape of the Commodes, with scrolled floral handles and a beautifully tied floral bouquet marquetry, is complemented by the smooth marble top. The interior drawers are made from oak, while the front and sides are covered in a rich walnut/nutwood. This unique feature of the Commodes, with one being slightly larger than the other, is reminiscent of the traditional practice of differentiating sizes for men and women's furniture. For example, in the same manner, armchairs were also made in different sizes, with the larger one meant for the gentleman and the smaller one for the lady. This charming difference in size adds an extra touch of elegance and history to these beautiful Louis XV style Commodes, making them not only functional pieces of furniture but also stunning works of art that evoke the grace and charm of a bygone era. The small chest of drawers has the dimensions: Height: 82 cm Width: 96 cm Depth: 47 cm The larger chest of drawers has the dimensions: Height: 85 cm Width: 110 cm Depth: 52 cm.
