This antique chest from France has a black marble top which rests atop a wooden chest consisting of two drawers flanking between canted front side posts, and raised upon four legs (cabriole at front with squared at rear), and a subtle break-front design that carries through from the marble top, down the case and onto the swag-carved front apron. Neoclassical style hardware embellishes the front side posts, center of skirt, front feet and drawer fronts (ring pulls with escutcheon). The black marble top with grey veining contrasts nicely against the primarily stormy sea-blue scraped finish with bits of wood and white gesso that show through from beneath. This early 20th century French commode with marble top will make a lovely case-piece to your home, while adding a bit of moody-drama and Neoclassic flair. less
