A superb quality late 19th century (circa 1900) serpentine commode in the Chippendale style of large proportions and of fine patina.
This commode consists of a serpentine shaped mahogany top with moulded edge leading down to three serpentine shaped graduated drawers of superb curl mahogany veneer all with exceptional quality brass handles and escutcheons of large proportions, the drawers all cockbeaded with oak drawer linings.
The commode having rounded corners to either side of the drawers with serpentine shaped sides of plum pudding mahogany veneer.
The commode rests on a finely carved base of serpentine form with central carved cartouche of Rococo influence with rocaille (shell) and scrolling carved decoration along the front and sides leading down to four cabriole legs, each with acanthus carved decoration to the knee and terminating with a pad foot.
It is unusual to find a commode or chest of drawers of this quality with the proportions of an 18th century period piece on the open market and an 18th century period piece such as this would no doubt be in excess of a six figure sum.
This commode is in very good condition for age, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home.
Please note: the figure has been used for photographic purposes only and is not inlcuded in the price.
