-
Description
This late 19th century French George III style demi-lune commode is an exceptional example of polychrome-painted and satinwood-inlaid craftsmanship. The gracefully curved top features a central rosette, surrounded by a painted border of ribbon-tied berrying vinery, creating an elegant focal point. The frieze is adorned with swag-draped husks punctuated by rosettes, reflecting meticulous decorative detail and a refined classical vocabulary.
The commode is fitted with three graduated drawers flanked by cabinet doors, each decorated with delicately painted classical vignettes and enclosing additional shelving for practical storage. Its tapering square legs provide a sense of balance and proportion while supporting the overall refined silhouette.
The combination of painted decoration, satinwood inlay, and classical motifs exemplifies the French interpretation of George III style, marrying historical elegance with functional design.
Measuring 36 1/4 inches in height, 75 inches in width, and 22 1/4 inches in depth, this demi-lune commode commands presence while maintaining graceful proportions suitable for a range of interiors. In good condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, it is a distinguished example of 19th century decorative furniture, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of classical French design. -
