Location: Baton Rouge
SaleAuthentic 18th century Country French commode combines the relaxed beauty of a softly painted finish with the warmth of a stripped natural wood top. Three spacious drawers are shaped with raised, molded panels that follow the flowing lines of the façade, complemented by ornate cast bronze drawer pulls and decorative escutcheons in the Louis XV tradition.
The gently contoured apron continues into curved front legs ending in scroll feet, giving the commode an attractive silhouette while retaining the sturdy craftsmanship expected of period French furniture.
Its timeworn gray painted finish allows the texture and age of the wood to remain visible, while the contrasting top brings richness and definition to the design.
Generous storage and an unusually versatile scale make this antique French commode an excellent choice for a bedroom, entry, dining room, or salon.
Circa 1790s
