ANTIQUE #SA834196

French Marble Top Commode With Brushing Slide

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Tom Scott Antiques

Very unusual French mid 19th century mahogany and marble top commode chest of drawers, but this one does also have a slide out writing surface or brushing slide with a leather inset. Circa 1850 and in lovely condition.
 
Wonderful figured or flamed mahogany running up the front of the drawers and it''s cleaned and polished to give a fabulous colour tone which works very well with the original charcoal and white grain marble top.
 
This French commode could work well as a dressing chest but also the height is right for using as an occasional desk if this was to be used in a living room for example. Not forgetting the four full width drawers offering lots of storage space and all with a lock and key.
 
The drawers are opened by using the keys as drawer pulls. If you would rather have a set of handles fitted, please do let me know and I can discuss options with you.
 
Measuring:
 
38 1/2 inches or 98 cm high
 
46 1/4 inches or 117.5 cm wide
 
22 1/2 inches or 57 cm deep
