An Early 19th Century French Mahogany Empire Commode

A superb early 19th century French Empire commode of elegant proportions, crafted in finely figured mahogany and surmounted by its original Carrara marble top. The beautifully figured frieze conceals a discreet drawer, centred by an ornate gilt-brass foliate mount, above three generously proportioned drawers veneered in richly patterned flame mahogany. Each drawer is adorned with original gilt-brass escutcheons and circular handles, retaining the refined classical symmetry synonymous with the Empire period. The cabinet is flanked by imposing freestanding columns mounted with finely cast gilt-brass capitals and bases, lending the piece architectural strength and sophistication. Raised on turned cylindrical feet, the commode displays the restrained grandeur inspired by the age of Napoleon, while the exceptional mahogany veneers create a striking visual impact. Both practical and decorative, this elegant commode would make a wonderful statement piece in a bedroom, hallway, drawing room or country house interior.
