It was listed by Lee Hawkins Antiques & Interiors. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Lee Hawkins Antiques & Interiors has dated this French Kingwood Commode Chest to the 19th Century.
The commode retains its original Breche d’Alep marble top — a striking contrast of cream and purple veining.
The two drawers open smoothly, each decorated with Rococo foliate handles and escutcheons, framed by gilt-bronze corner mounts and elegant cabriole legs terminating in sabots. The interior is oak-lined, typical of fine Parisian craftsmanship from this period.
Stamped BRUNEAU, an accomplished French ébéniste active during the Belle Époque (circa 1880–1900), known for producing high-quality Louis XV and Louis XVI revival furniture.
A stunning and practical piece that will bring authentic French elegance to any classic or contemporary interior.
