Antique French Directoire Mahogany Commode with Carrara Marble Top exudes the understated elegance for which the style is world renowned!  Crafted from exotic mahogany imported from the Americas during the last century, it features particularly selected drawer fronts chosen for their unique flowing grain patterns.  Rounded, fluted corner posts create a classical effect that also softens the impact on the traffic pattern in the room.  Three sizeable full width drawers are each accessed with squared brass bale pulls.  Tailored brass key guards accent the center of each drawer.  Four elegantly tapered turned legs provide support, each fitted with brass feet.  Even the side panels, which were also chosen for their stunning figure, are treated to fine molding detail with fluting on the back corner posts, creating visual appeal from all angles.  The overall design is quite restrained, as is the style's dictum, allowing it to showcase the sheer natural beauty of the wood.  To top it all off~ luxurious white Carrara marble with subtle gray veining, prized the world over for its intrinsic beauty, creating a carefree elegance that cannot be denied!
