About the Item

This Venetian paint decorated bombe form Louis XV style dresser, circa 1940, is a beautiful example of mid-20th century craftsmanship inspired by the elegance of 18th century French design. The dresser features the iconic bombe shape, with its gracefully curved sides and front, adding a sense of movement and refinement. Hand-painted floral motifs in soft pastel hues of green, blue, peach, and gold adorn the dresser’s surface, giving it a delicate Venetian character with an air of romantic charm. The floral sprays are framed by scrolling acanthus flourishes, enhancing its decorative appeal. The dresser is fitted with three spacious drawers, each retaining its original ornate bronze hardware in a dark patinated finish, providing both contrast and authenticity. The hand-painted green edging along the top and legs further highlights its decorative artistry, while the cabriole legs and scalloped apron reflect the influence of Louis XV Rococo styling. Perfect for a bedroom, living room, or hallway, this Venetian bombe commode serves as both a functional storage piece and an elegant statement of Old World style. Its unique paint decorated finish ensures no two pieces are exactly alike, making it an excellent choice for collectors and designers seeking a distinctive focal point. This dresser captures the timeless grace of Venetian artistry with French sophistication, making it ideal for traditional, shabby chic, or eclectic interiors.
