Furniture in the style of Louis Philippe, such as this chest of drawers from the late 1800s, is highly sought after, as the understated elegance and clean lines allow them to be paired with a variety of interior design styles. The functionality of this beautiful burl walnut commode also makes it a desirable storage piece for a bedroom, living room, or entry hall.

Hand-carved in France, the commode is topped by a white Carrara marble with gray veining. The marble is three-quarters of an inch thick with canted front corners that mirror the angular edges of the main body. A belt drawer with two round pulls is set between two thin ogee moldings, with the lower edging providing a separation to the three tiers of main drawers below. Each of the four drawers, as well as the thick apron at the bottom have intricate burl graining that gives a darker tone to the rich, brown patina of the wood. The result is a stunning Louis Philippe-style commode that can be integrated with traditional antique furniture or paired with more modern designs.

CONDITION: Very good antique condition. Fleabites and very light nicks to the marble, with minor rubs and losses to the burl walnut veneer. Evidence of old fills and restoration to wood. Key included. All locks have been removed except for the topmost belt drawer, which is functional.
