Commode After Benneman and Stöckel, Louis XVI Paris Around 1900
By Benneman and Stockel
Located in Heiligenberg, DE
Louis Seize style state chest of drawers, solid mahogany and veneered, with rich brass fittings (signed E. KAHN) and marble top, Paris circa 1900. This chest of drawers is a very large presentation furniture with a width of almost 1.80 meters. It is an authentic collector's item. This dresser is in full working restored condition. This wide dresser stands on tall turned legs and features rounded corner studs with fluting. The front is designed with two doors and three drawers above. The dresser top, made of 2.7 cm thick Cararra marble, protrudes and matches the body shape at the outer edges. Behind the two doors are 6 drawers that can be pulled out on drop rings. All three visible sides are lush with hardware and feature large medallions in the center. All three medallions are framed by a round egg bar ornamental molding. The corner studs show fluting inlaid with brass. All locks are stamped "Paris". Some of the bronzes have the casting stamps "E. Kahn" on the back. The body of the chest of drawers can be disassembled by threaded screws was designed so that the body can be completely disassembled. The chest of drawers is delivered assembled. The dresser has been gently restored preserving the patina and slight signs of use, is fully functional and equipped with four keys. Photos of the unrestored condition are available. The Paris based company "E. Kahn & Cie" specialized in high quality reproduction of 18th century furniture. They copied furniture from the French ebenists such as Riesener, Oeben, Weisweiler, Stöckl, Cressent and Benneman, which were reproduced 1:1 or partly slightly modified, with high quality. The model for this chest of drawers was a pair of royal chests of drawers designed by J. STÖCKL (Joseph Stöckel, master 1775) and completed by G. BENNEMAN (Guillaume Bennemann, master 1785). In 1786 the pair of chests of drawers was delivered to Marie Antoinette's gambling salon (Salon des Jeux) at Fontainebleau castle. Currently it is in the collection of the Louvre in Paris (Commode 1, Commode 2). The commode type in the form of a sideboard with additional drawers behind the doors is also called commode à vantaux. Especially this commode is also called Marie Antoinette commode.

Antique and Vintage Chests of Drawers and Commodes for Sale on 1stDibs

Is it a commode or a chest of drawers?

Commode is the French term for a low chest of drawers, but it is also sometimes used to denote a piece with a particularly intricate design. The commode dates to circa 1700 France, where it was used as an alternative to a taller cabinet piece so as to not obscure paneled, mirrored or tapestried walls. Coffers, or chests, which were large wooden boxes with hinged lids and sometimes stood on ball feet, preceded chests of drawers, a fashionable cabinet furnishing that garnered acclaim for its obvious storage potential and versatility.

As time passed, French and British furniture makers led the way in the production of chests of drawers, and features like the integration of bronze and ornamental pulls became commonplace. Antique French commodes in the Louis XV style were sometimes crafted in mahogany or walnut, while an Italian marble top added a sophisticated decorative flourish. This specific type of case piece grew in popularity in the years that followed.

So, what makes a chest of drawers different from a common dresser? Dressers are short, and chests of drawers are overall taller pieces of furniture that typically do not have room on the top for a mirror as most dressers do. Tallboys and highboys are variations of the dresser form. Some chests of drawers have one column of four to six long drawers or three long drawers in their bottom section that are topped by a cluster of small side-by-side drawers on the top. To further complicate things, we sometimes refer to particularly short chests of drawers as nightstands

Even though chests of drawers are commonly thought of as bedroom furniture to store clothing, these are adaptable pieces. A chest of drawers can house important documents — think of your walnut Art Deco commode as an upgrade to your filing cabinet. Nestle your chest near your home’s front door to store coats and other outerwear, while the top can be a place to drop your handbag. Add some flair to your kitchen, where this lovable case piece can hold pots, pans and even cookbooks.

When shopping for the right chest of drawers for your home, there are a few key things to consider: What will you be storing in it? How big a chest will you need?

Speaking of size, don’t dream too big. If your space is on the smaller side, a more streamlined vintage mid-century modern chest of drawers, perhaps one designed by Paul McCobb or T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, may best suit your needs.

At 1stDibs, we make it easy to add style and storage to your home. Browse our collection of antique and vintage commodes and chests of drawers today.
