The front features two generously proportioned drawers adorned with an intricate still-life scene of flowers and foliage, rendered in vibrant colors that evoke the beauty of nature.The serpentine sides continue this theme with delicate floral sprays, harmonizing with the central motif and adding depth and character to the piece. The drawers are fitted with elegant brass pull handles, which appear to be original to the piece, though their precise provenance is uncertain. These gleaming accents enhance the commode’s luxurious aesthetic while providing practical functionality.
