Antique Country French Louis XIV Commode en Arbalette is a splendidly preserved example of superb French craftsmanship!  Utilizing dense, old-growth oak, the casework was fashioned to accommodate three full width drawers, each shaped like an archer's bow on the facade, and lavished with scrollwork and foliate motifs, then fitted with cast brass pulls in the Baroque style.  The rounded cornerposts that flank the drawers are carved with flowing ribbon, leading the eye down to the finely detailed apron that also follows the arbalette contours above, supported by boldly scrolled legs.  A perfect size to complement any room or serve as a companion in a seating group or bedroom!
Circa early 1900s
