Title: French Louis XVI Parquetry Commode with Marble Top c.1780
Description: French Louis XVI Parquetry Commode with Marble Top c.1780

We are very pleased to present a fine French Louis XVI commode dating from the late eighteenth century, beautifully constructed in oak and veneered throughout with kingwood, fruitwoods and contrasting parquetry veneers.

The thick grey and white marble top with rounded front corners sits above three frieze drawers and four larger drawers below, the fronts decorated with geometric parquetry and framed by delicate ebony and boxwood stringing.
The commode retains gilt metal rosette handles and escutcheons which contrast attractively with the warm tones of the veneers.

The sides are fully panelled and inlaid, while the fluted corner uprights terminate in elegant tapering legs with further contrasting inlay, reflecting the restrained neoclassical taste of the Louis XVI period.

Presented in very good condition, with minor wear to the marble edges and age-related marks consistent with its age and use.
Lovely colour and presents very well
