18th Century French Cherrywood Commode

18th century
Description

An 18th Century French Cherrywood Commode with Three Drawers.

This commode is a good example of French provincial furniture in the late Louis XV and early Louis XVI taste. The legs are restrained cabriole legs of that period. The handles are of restrained rococo rather than neoclassical pattern. Veneered in cherrywood, and inlaid in contrasting satinwood and rosewood. The inlay scheme is beautiful and consistent. The top features a large inlaid panel in rosewood with contrasting bookmatched timber in the centre. This same design is then used on the drawer fronts and pilasters which are also inlaid and panalled.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century France, a commode is a low chest of drawers designed for refined storage in main reception rooms and bedrooms, often featuring detailed parquetry or marquetry woodwork.

Cabinetmakers frequently utilized regional hardwoods such as cherrywood, walnut, and fruitwoods, often enhanced with contrasting timber crossbanding and cast brass mountings.

Authentic period examples typically exhibit hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-planed back panels, historical timber shrinkage, and hand-cast brass drop handles or escutcheons.

This type of piece functions effectively as a focal point in an entryway, living room, or bedroom, paired with contemporary artwork or minimal ceramic accessories to balance the detailed woodwork.

Preserve the natural patina by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and applying a neutral beeswax paste annually, while keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight.
