Decorative vintage Louis XV–style bombe commode featuring a gracefully curved three-drawer case, elaborate floral and urn-form marquetry-style decoration, and a shaped pink marble top.
The warm-toned figured veneers are accented with floral motifs across the drawer fronts and both sides. Ornate ring pulls, gilt-metal corner mounts, decorative apron hardware and slender cabriole legs complete the French Rococo-inspired appearance. The three full-width drawers provide useful storage, making this an attractive statement piece for an entryway, living room, bedroom or dining area.
Likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century, approximately the 1960s–1980s. No maker’s label or country-of-origin mark was found; the maker and exact origin are unknown.
Overall good vintage condition with age-related wear and evidence of previous repairs. Notable imperfections include an area of missing veneer along the upper front corner beneath the marble, additional veneer and edge losses along portions of the legs and vertical edges, scattered finish wear, scratches, scuffs, and wear along the drawer fronts and edges. Some areas of veneer loss expose the underlying wood. These condition issues are shown in detail in the photographs and are consistent with the piece's age and previous use. Despite the noted wear, the chest presents beautifully overall, with the floral marquetry, decorative hardware, and marble top remaining visually striking. The drawer interiors show light marks, staining and ordinary storage wear, and one drawer corner displays evidence of an older repair or reinforcement. The metal hardware and mounts retain oxidation and an aged patina. The drawers remain functional, and the commode presents attractively overall. Please review all photographs closely as they form an important part of the condition description.
Dimensions: approximately 38.5 inches wide across the back/top, 29 inches wide across the front, 15.75 inches deep and 32.25 inches high.
Marble should be removed and transported separately when moving the commode. 20158
