French Louis XVI Parquetry Commode with Marble Top c.1780
We are very pleased to present a fine French Louis XVI commode dating from the late eighteenth century, beautifully constructed in oak and veneered throughout with kingwood, fruitwoods and contrasting parquetry veneers.
The thick grey and white marble top with rounded front corners sits above three frieze drawers and four larger drawers below, the fronts decorated with geometric parquetry and framed by delicate ebony and boxwood stringing. The commode retains gilt metal rosette handles and escutcheons which contrast attractively with the warm tones of the veneers.
The sides are fully panelled and inlaid, while the fluted corner uprights terminate in elegant tapering legs with further contrasting inlay, reflecting the restrained neoclassical taste of the Louis XVI period.
The construction and materials, including the substantial oak carcass and traditional internal framework, are consistent with a late eighteenth-cent
...ury date. The piece displays excellent colour throughout and offers both decorative appeal and practical storage.
Presented in very good condition, with minor wear to the marble edges, light restorations and age-related marks consistent with its age and use.
