Neoclassical French Commode w/Marble Top
A French Neoclassical carved wood commode with marble top and brass trim, from the early 19th century. This antique chest from France features a rectangular-shaped top with pronounced and rounded corners, atop a traditional neoclassical case that houses three full sized drawers, flanked within rounded and fluted front side posts. Each of the drawers is outlined in brass trim, and fitted with Neoclassical style ring pulls and escutcheons in a wreath and tied-bow motif (hardware is older but not likely original). Real brass trim continues across the front side posts and across the upper section of each shorter side, to add further embellishment. The chest is presented upon four legs, with front pair being conical and terminating into brass feet, and rear being more squared. The marble top (which is a later addition) is a darker salmon and coral color. This French Neoclassic period chest, with marble top and brass trimmings, would work really well in a bedroom as a dresser, or perhaps in a foyer or living area with decorative items atop and storage within.
