Marquetry Commode, Louis XV Style – Early 20th Century

This magnificent commode, typical of the Louis XV style, captivates with the elegance of its flowing lines and the richness of its materials. It opens with two drawers in the front, adorned with geometric marquetry in a rosewood checkerboard pattern, framed by lemonwood stringing and highlighted by a rosewood border. Each drawer has foliate drop handles and a finely chased bronze keyhole escutcheon, complete with a working key and lock. The delicately shaped lower rail is embellished with gilt bronze scrolls and florets, a refined echo of the openwork mounts and sabots that adorn the cabriole legs at the front. The thick, molded, ogee-edged, purplish brocatelle marble top gracefully follows the curves of the commode, adding a mineral touch to the overall woodwork. The sides, also featuring a flowing design, echo the same wood species and motifs as the front, ensuring perfect harmony. The subtle contrast between light and dark woods is particularly striking, lending this piece a warm and sophisticated presence. A piece of furniture with character, ideal for antique furniture enthusiasts seeking authenticity and refinement. ********Period: Early 20th Century.
