This eighteenth-century French commode is a Louis XVI chest of drawers made from dark brown mahogany with a black marble slab top. The piece displays three upper frieze drawers above two long lower drawers, all framed by thin brass moulding stringing and fitted with original brass drop handles and key escutcheons. Fluted upright pilasters flank the drawers, and the structure stands on tapered turned legs decorated with brass collars and feet. The woodwork shows a rich timber grain and polished finish. Measuring 87.5 cm high, 127 cm wide, and 59 cm deep, the commode provides a substantial surface and deep storage capacity. It serves well as a statement piece in a hallway, bedroom, or living room, offering a flat surface for lamps, books, or decorative objects while storing household items out of sight.

FAQs

A Louis XVI commode is a neoclassical French chest of drawers originating from the late 18th century, characterised by straight lines, geometric symmetry, fluted columns, and classical motifs influenced by Greco-Roman architecture.

These pieces typically feature solid hardwoods or veneers such as mahogany, kingwood, or rosewood, paired with carved marble tops, oak interior drawer lining, and cast brass or bronze gilt mounts.

Authentic 18th-century examples often exhibit hand-dovetailed drawer construction, original marble slabs with hand-chiselled undersides, hand-forged iron locks, and period-correct oak or pine secondary woods.

A neoclassical commode functions as an entryway focal point, dining room server, or bedroom dresser, pairing effectively with contemporary artwork, modern table lamps, or minimal mirrors.

Dust the wood regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the grain; wipe marble surfaces with a damp cloth using pH-neutral soap, avoiding acidic cleaners.
