About the Item

A handsome walnut marble commode from France, an 18th century original in the Louis XVI style, fitting with traditional to transitional interiors equally well. The removable stone top is a thick cut of Saint Anne marble that has been shaped to turreted front corners and square at the back; the maker (an “L. Martine” and what appears to be “Louvard”) has chosen to sign the piece on the top of the left legs which is only visible when the stone is removed. Making up the body of the piece are three spacious drawers that glide easily using brass ring pulls; repoussé ring pulls and keyhole escutcheons decorate the fronts however no key is present. The drawers are of excellent proportion to offer elegant storage for clothes, linens, or other household essentials. Fluting on the corners of the case flows into turned, tapering legs on brass sabot feet lifting the case from the floor. Look closely and one can see the panels on the sides are a single, wide plank to showcase the beauty of the wood grain. Cleaned, tightened, and polished with a French paste wax this antique commode is ready for your interior. Please view the detailed images to see more.
