Exceptional 18th Century French Régence Rosewood Serpentine Commode with Original Marble Top

18th century
Description

An exceptional 18th century (circa 1730) French Régence rosewood serpentine commode (chest of drawers) with original marble top.

This commode consists of a finely figured original Bréche marble top with moulded edge and serpentine shaped front leading down to applied gilt mounts to either side.

This leads down to two short over two long drawers, all oak lined, the fronts having superb rosewood quarter veneer panels with tulip banding, rosewood banding and outer shaped crossbanded edge, all with original gilt handles and escutcheons.

This leads down to a shaped rail below with applied gilt mount to the centre and gilt mounts to the front feet, the sides consist of a quarter veneered rosewood panel with tulipwood banding.

This piece is in excellent condition for age, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home or collection.

Please note: the bronze figure shown has been used for photographic purposes only and is not included in the price.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Emerging in early 18th-century France between the Baroque and Rococo eras, the Regence style features graceful curves, serpentine fronts, intricate wood parquetry, and decorative ormolu mounts, bridging grand symmetry with lighter elegance.

These pieces typically feature solid oak or pine carcasses veneered with exotic timbers such as rosewood or kingwood, complemented by hand-cut marble tops and cast, hand-chased gilded bronze mounts.

Authentic period pieces display hand-sawn dovetail drawer joinery, irregular hand-carved drawer linings showing natural wood shrinkage, cast mercury-gilded bronze fittings, and thick marble slabs shaped precisely to the carcass.

Position the commode as a focal point in an entryway, drawing room, or master bedroom, pairing its dark rosewood tones and gilded details with contemporary artwork or clean-lined wall mouldings.

Dust the wood veneer with a dry microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly, clean the marble top using neutral pH slate soaps, and maintain stable environmental humidity to prevent veneer lifting.
