About the Item
This exquisite French Louis XV–style marble-top commode, dating to the 1920s era, is a superb example of early 20th-century French craftsmanship inspired by the elegance and movement of 18th-century Rococo design. Richly decorative yet beautifully balanced, this piece embodies the romance, refinement, and artistry for which Louis XV furniture is celebrated.
The serpentine façade is adorned with exceptional marquetry inlaid in mixed exotic and fruitwoods, arranged in a flowing floral and foliate composition. The inlay depicts a stylized bouquet emerging from a basket, framed by curvilinear reserves that echo the commode’s sensuous bombe form. The warm contrast between the darker surrounding veneers and the lighter inlaid woods creates remarkable depth and visual movement, showcasing the cabinetmaker’s mastery of traditional marquetry techniques.
Topping the piece is a luxurious shaped marble slab, richly veined in tones of rose, cream, and soft gray, perfectly complementing the warmth of the wood below. The marble not only enhances the commode’s elegance but also provides a durable and functional surface suitable for daily use.
The commode features three spacious drawers, each fitted with ornate gilt bronze (ormolu) pulls and escutcheons, finely cast with scrolling acanthus and floral motifs typical of the Louis XV style. Additional gilt bronze mounts accent the corners and legs, terminating in elegant sabots that protect the feet while adding a refined decorative flourish.
Raised on gracefully cabriole legs, the commode exudes the lightness and fluidity that define Rococo design, making it an ideal statement piece for a bedroom, salon, entry hall, or refined living space. Its proportions and decorative richness allow it to function equally well as a functional storage piece and as a focal point in sophisticated interiors.
A stunning representation of Louis XV revival furniture from the early 20th century, this marble-top commode offers timeless French elegance, exceptional craftsmanship, and enduring decorative appeal—perfect for collectors, designers, and interiors seeking authentic European charm.
