This elegant French commode dates from the Louis Philippe period (1830-1848). It features beautifully book-matched flame walnut veneer, and an original Sainte Anne marble top. There's a large drawer concealed in the plinth (just below the marble top). There's also a secret drawer hidden in the bottom piece of trim, a special feature that we rarely see in Louis Philippe commodes.
Below, three additional drawers constructed from French oak with hand-dovetailed joinery, offer plenty of storage. The commode rests on bracket feet, and features beautiful detailed bronze escutcheon plates. Four skeleton keys are included with the commode, and can be used to lock all four of the upper drawers. This lovely chest of drawers would be a statement-making piece in an entryway, and would be equally graceful in a dining room as a buffet or sideboard, with ample drawer space for storing dishes.
