French Louis XV Period 18th Century Hand Carved & Painted Commode

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 35 ¾” H x 48” W x 20 ½” D

This 18th century commode from France retains its Louis XV period details and charm underneath 20th century updates (as found) which have given the classic storage piece a fresh look befitting more modern tastes. More recent French-gray paint, in a hue best described as “pebble” is trimmed in an ivory paint to set off the hand-carved paneling on the drawer fronts and scrolling along the apron–down the escargot feet–and more recent hardware. Peek inside one of the four drawers and one will discover that they are fabric-lined in a quirky floral-windowpane chintz. Note that the shield escutcheons are decorative, no key is present. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition.
