French Louis XV Style Commode
A wonderfully elegant French Louis XV style commode, full of character and decorative detail. With its beautifully curved bombe form, warm figured timber and ornate gilt-bronze style mounts, this is a piece designed to make an impression.
The commode features two generously sized drawers, each finished with decorative scrolling handles and escutcheons. Delicate floral and foliate inlay adds interest across the drawer fronts, while the shaped apron and slender cabriole legs give the piece its unmistakably French silhouette. Decorative mounts running down the corners and feet provide the perfect finishing touch. Both keys are present and working.
Above sits a beautifully figured marble top, its warm natural tones complementing the richness of the timber below. The combination of marble, intricate veneer and aged metalwork gives the commode a wonderfully sophisticated, timeworn appearance.
A particularly versatile antique-style piece, it would look beautiful in a drawing room, hallway, bedroom or entrance hall, either simply dressed with a lamp and flowers or used as a statement piece beneath a mirror or artwork.
