Description
THOMAS CHIPPENDALE
England c. 1775.

Outstanding example of Georgian Furniture is this generous sized Serpentine Fronted Satinwood Inlaid Commode / Chest of Drawers. Of note is the exceptional colour and patina showing the favoured West Indian Satinwood with its individual markings setting it apart from its later East Indian cousin. With the beautifully drawn oval yew panel to the top surface and the high quality all original lacquered bronze handles this piece is most suitable for the collector as well as the best decorator - designer.
