This nineteenth-century Louis Philippe commode is constructed from burr ash veneer, brass, and marble. The piece displays a warm honey colour with striking book-matched burr veneer grain, complemented by a dark grey marble top and an ogee top drawer. Decorative elements include ornate brass drop handles, a swan handle on the top drawer, and keyhole escutcheons on each of the four drawers. The cabinet rests on low block feet and has visible surface cracks on the marble top. Measuring 92 cm high, 116 cm wide, and 57 cm deep, this chest of drawers suits placement in a bedroom, hallway, or living room for everyday storage and display.

FAQs

Popularised in mid-19th century France during the reign of King Louis Philippe, these commodes feature clean lines, rounded upper corners, soft ogee cushion mouldings, and simple plinth bases, usually topped with fitted marble slabs.

Cabinetmakers typically used native French hardwoods such as walnut, oak, cherry, and highly figured veneers like burr ash or burr walnut, frequently accented with grey or black marble tops and brass ironmongery.

Authentic examples feature a concealed top drawer within the soft cushion moulding, hand-cut dovetailed joint construction on interior drawer boxes, original marble tops contoured to fit the exact profile, and solid timber framing.

Position the commode in a hallway, bedroom, or living area as an anchor piece, layering contemporary artwork, structural table lamps, or ceramics on the marble surface to contrast with the warm timber grain.

Dust timber surfaces with a soft microfibre cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly along the grain, while cleaning the marble top with pH-neutral stone cleaner to prevent etching from liquids.
