Late 19thc French Louis Xvi Style Tulipwood Breakfront Commode with Original Marble Top

Description

A late 19th century French Louis XVI style tulipwood breakfront commode (chest of drawers) of superb patina.

The commode consists of original black fossil marble top of breakfront shape with moulded edge which is in good condition for age, minor chips to edge.

This leads down to three long shaped drawers consisting of tulipwood veneered panels with ebony stringing, the top drawer having inlaid ebony and sycamore design, all with original gilt brass laurel wreath handles, gilt brass escutcheons with central gilt brass mount below.

The commode consists of shaped corners with inlaid ebony and sycamore design, the side panels with inlaid ebony and sycamore design to the top with tulipwood veneered panel below with ebony stringing supported on outswept legs, with gilt brass sabots to the front legs.

This piece is in very good condition for age with some old repairs, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Originating in the late eighteenth century, the Louis XVI style shifted from Rococo curves toward Neoclassical symmetry, straight lines, geometric parquetry, and classical architectural proportions.

Commodes from this era typically feature a solid timber carcass veneered with exotic hardwoods such as tulipwood or kingwood in parquetry patterns, finished with natural marble tops and cast brass or bronze mounts.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery, genuine wear on timber drawer runners, natural veining and age marks on the marble, and cast metal hardware tailored to the drawer frame.

A marble top commode serves as a functional focal point in an entryway, hallway, or bedroom, pairing effectively with contemporary artwork mounted above or neutral interior palettes.

Clean the marble surface with a pH-neutral stone cleaner to prevent etching, condition the wood veneer with beeswax, and position the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
