Italian Marquetry Commode Chest with Architectural Landscape Scene

18th century Louis XVI marquetry commode or chest of drawers with tulipwood inlay veneer and oak and pine as secondary wood.

Inlaid top with a center-roundel showing a youth reclining on a chaise in front of a classical temple, above four drawers, the fronts forming an architectural, perspective scene showing buildings and ruins, fountains, sculptures and a boy resting on a toppled column accompanied by a playing dog, flanked by caryatids topped with gilt bronze classical heads and ending in gilt bronze feet. The sides featuring medallions with urns. Intricate inlaid borders framing each scene. Square inlaid block feet.
