It is in good condition, fully restored, ready for another 200 plus years of daily use. It has been later hand painted in lovely soft tones by a true craftsman with a Specialist Antique Stone White Patinated Finish.

The commode has a beautiful scallop shaped apron with carved details resting on scroll shaped legs.

It will enhance the décor of any room in the house be it in an entry hall, bedroom or other living room.
