Elegant antique French Louis XVI style commode with an exceptionally decorative marquetry exterior and a beautifully veined marble top. The two drawer facade is richly composed with flowering branches, blossoms, and scrolling foliage in contrasting woods, framed by fine geometric inlay.
The gilded bronze hardware is like jewelry against the warmth of the wood. Ornate ring pulls, escutcheons, corner mounts, apron ornament, and sabots enrich the commode from top to bottom. Gently curved legs and a shaped apron complete its elegant French profile.
The floral marquetry is the true distinction of this antique commode, extending continuously across both drawers and giving the facade depth, movement, and remarkable visual appeal. Beautifully finished from every angle, it offers great storage and a refined scale for a bedroom, entry, or salon.
