18th Century Italian Louis XVI Chest of Drawers
Located in Atlanta, GA
This exceptional 17th-century Italian commode is a striking example of Baroque craftsmanship, crafted from richly grained walnut that has developed a warm, natural patina over the centuries. The commode features four drawers, each with intricately molded paneling and adorned with ornate brass hardware, reflecting the attention to detail characteristic of the period. The front showcases bold geometric carvings, while the sides feature diamond-shaped paneling, all hallmarks of Italian Baroque design, which emphasized grandeur and architectural detailing. The walnut wood has been meticulously polished to reveal its fine grain, enhancing the depth and richness of its appearance. Built using traditional 17th-century joinery techniques, including dovetail construction, this piece is as durable as it is beautiful. The commode’s bold and ornate design, combined with its functional storage capacity, makes it an impressive focal point in any traditional or antique-inspired setting. Perfect for collectors or those looking to bring a touch of historical elegance to their home, this piece exemplifies the opulence and sophistication of Italian Baroque furniture.

Antique and Vintage Chests of Drawers and Commodes for Sale: Find Art Deco Commodes and Mid-Century Modern Chests of Drawers on 1stDibs
Shopping for 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 any case 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. The term commode was also used to refer to a piece of bedroom furniture — a washstand or nightstand that contained a chamber pot.
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.
