Originating in the late 17th century but only acquiring its name in the early 18th century, this is the first classic model of a commode. Although typically Louis XIV in style, it may not have existed before the Regency period. With rounded corner pilasters with slightly convex faces, deep copper fluting, veneer, and geometric bronze mounts, it features three rows of drawers. It perpetuates the spirit of Louis XIV furniture throughout much of the 18th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This chest of drawers is made of fir and veneered with rosewood. It arrived at the workshop in fairly good condition. There were a few small areas where the veneer was missing and, as usual, significant dehydration of all the glues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
