About the Item

This elegant Louis XVI commode, crafted around 1780, showcases the refined symmetry and exquisite craftsmanship characteristic of the late 18th century. Made in walnut with beautifully executed geometric inlays, the piece displays a rich interplay of tones and grain patterns that give the façade striking visual depth. The three drawers are framed with delicate banding and fitted with period-appropriate brass key escutcheons, emphasizing the commode’s classical linearity. Tapered legs with finely shaped feet further highlight the balanced proportions and architectural clarity associated with Louis XVI design. The warm patina, crisp detailing, and harmonious composition reflect the quality of its original workmanship. Both functional and decorative, this commode offers generous storage while serving as an exceptional focal point in living spaces, bedrooms, or entryways. A superb, authentic example of French 18th-century furniture craftsmanship. A unique piece which is a great eye-catcher for your antique, modern, space age or mid-century interior.
