About the Item
A very handsome
capacious three drawer commode in highly grained ash, the top inlaid with rectilinear parquetry motifs in German walnut, surrounding a heart-shaped marquetry motif centred by a silvered Christogram (IHS), intersected by marquetry motifs of an anchor
cross – the three motifs being symbolic of Love (Heart), Hope (Anchor)
Faith (Cross), flanked on either side by the initials P
F in Old German script.
The overhanging top drawer surmounting two graduated full-width drawers, their fronts inlaid with contrasting light
dark parquetry motifs in walnut
maple, and retain their original embossed brass backplates, bail handles
iron locks - however their keyholes have been filled in. The front of the case flanked on either side by ebonized tapering columns with embossed ormolu mounts, raised overall upon splayed rear supports
carved paw-shaped front supports.
The aforementioned Christogram which appears on the top, together with the two initials, suggests that this may possibly have been a dowry gift.
