A Period French Louis XV Blonde Walnut Commode Galbé, Circa 1750
About the Item
The blonde walnut wood of this French commode galbé has a warm, honey-colored hue that is accented by the gilt bronze hardware. Hand-carved circa 1750, the beautiful chest of drawers dates to the period of Louis XV, as evidenced by the highly sinuous form, the cabriole front legs, and the flowered motifs.
Known as arbalete, the crossbow-shaped front begins with the lightly overhanging top and continues throughout the three tiers of drawers. The upper row has three drawers, while the remaining two feature one drawer each. All tiers are surrounded by a shallow molding, which also embellishes the shapely apron that has a rosette cartouche in the center. The larger drawers have large, foliate handles dotted with flowers that flank a pierced foliate and scrolled keyplate. Identical hardware can be seen on the upper row but with only one handle on each of the outer drawers, while the narrow center drawer contains the keyplate. Both of the ogee front feet are adorned with a flowering stalk, beneath a flower inset within a circle on the side pilaster. The sides are well carved as well, with the undulating sides featuring an oval set inside a shaped console. Our Louis XV blonde walnut commode galbé would be a welcomed addition to any bedroom, hallway, or living room.
