Very Fine French Serpentine Louis Xv Commode with Marble Top

This is an extremely good quality and beautifully made French tulip wood Louis xv style commode with all original brass work and Cararra marble top.

The chest has been fully restored and has come up really very well, a full clean throughout, all drawers running smoothly and such a stunning piece of furniture to look at.

The drawers are all solid oak lined and the top drawer is separated into three sections with further oak dividers. Providing good storage, but has a real elegance with it being the serpentine front and quite neat proportions by not being overly deep.

The brass work is amongst the best I have seen, particularly to the front corner columns of the chest and down to the feet. The chest has its original locks and single key for the working locks.

Quarter and chevroned veneered throughout and a fabulous colour tone.

A very fine piece and an unusual find, very few pieces come up such as this.

Certainly suitable for everyday bedroom use, but also would make a fantastic focal piece in a hall or living room, so it can be admired!

In my other listings, you will find a selection of suitable French gilt mirrors to compliment this piece.

Measuring:

36” or 91.5cm high

46 1/4” or 117.5cm wide

19 3/4” or 50cm deep
