About the Item

A beautifully handcrafted 19th century French commode or side table from the historic Provençal city of Arles. Petite in scale but rich in detail, this elegant piece is constructed of solid walnut and features intricate fruitwood and tulipwood marquetry with a striking geometric grain pattern on all sides, adding depth and visual interest from every angle. Having a rectangular top with marquetry border, this handsome neoclassical chest features three drawers, each fitted with its original brass ring pulls that enhance its refined silhouette. Raised on straight tapered legs. The clean lines of this petite commode further emphasize the understated elegance of the Directoire influence, while the drawers offer ideal storage for small linens, personal items, or bedside essentials. A warm, timeworn patina and traditional French polish bring out the beauty of the wood’s natural tone and grain pattern, making it not only a practical accent table or nightstand but also a collectible piece of Arlésienne artistry. Perfect in a bedroom, hallway, or tucked beside a settee or chair, it brings both function and timeless French charm to any space. Dimensions: h - 27.5" w - 16" d - 11.75"
