A French near-pair of marble-top side chests with lower shelf, from the early 20th century. These antique commodes from France each feature a rectangular-shaped white marble top, surrounded with a raised brass gallery on three sides, atop a case which houses a pair of stacked dove-tailed drawers. The tables are raised nicely upon squared tapering legs, that terminate into peg feet. A lower self with elegant concaved front braces the legs at underside of the table. Please note that this is a near-pair of tables; their differences upon close inspection would be mismatched pulls on the lower drawer fronts, and the addition of brass trim outlining the drawer fronts and side panels on one table only. Should these pieces be separated, the differences would likely go unrecognized. These early 20th century French commodes, with gallery...
