Vintage Italian Parquetry Two Drawer Mini Commode with Shell Form Handles

About the Item

Vintage Italian parquetry two drawer mini commode, circa 1940s. A serpentine form made from olive wood with lattice inlaid geometric parquetry design. The commode features two drawers, cabriole legs and ormolu shell form drawer pulls. Beautifully crafted from olive wood, the grain patterns add depth and visual interest to the surface. The serpentine front is quintessentially Rococo. The parquetry is continued on the back of the piece making it visually appealing from every angle. This is a delightful mini commode. It would work well as a table top item, jewelry case or accent piece. Additional Information: Other examples of this work have been described variously as 19th century, an apprentice piece and salesman's sample. Our research has determined this piece to be a vintage piece sold through Lord & Taylor NYC in the 1940's. There is a visible shadow of two labels on the underside. These are the same shape as handwritten labels on another example of this piece. That label reads Lord & Taylor NY ORD. IT/300 ART 545/C Made in Italy. Note: The seller will pay to have this piece expertly packed by a professional shipping company to allow for parcel post as opposed to the much more expensive white glove shipping option. Dimensions: 16.25"h x 20"w x 10.5"d Condition: Good/Fair, minor veneer losses, nicks and scuffs consistent with age and use. Show wells. Ready to place.
