Description

Well proportioned French pale cherrywood commode chest of drawers with a cherrywood top, circa 1850.

Lovely light colour to this chest of drawers and gives good storage with the four full width drawers (there is a frieze drawer just under the top).

Nice that this commode has its original cherrywood top as so many of these have a heavy marble top. Also quite a shallow depth for one of these too, so it can work in a living room setting as well as a bedroom storage piece.

Cleaned and beeswax polished so it has a nice mellow glow with some of the usual age and use related marks you would expect.

Measuring:

34 1/2 inches or 87.5 cm high

47 3/4 inches or 121.5 cm wide

20 inches or 51 cm deep

Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.

FAQs

A traditional French commode is typically characterised by its low chest of drawers design, substantial proportions, and refined craftsmanship originating from various regional periods in France.

Master cabinetmakers frequently utilised regional hardwoods such as cherrywood, walnut, and oak, often combining solid timber construction with traditional hand-cut dovetail joints.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct joinery, natural timber ageing, hand-forged or cast metal hardware, and construction methods consistent with historical workshop practices.

This piece can serve as a sophisticated focal point in a bedroom or living area, pairing well with contemporary minimalist decor to create a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels, avoid direct sunlight to protect the wood colour, and apply microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish and protect the surface.
