The case is a very unusual number of two drawers–not the usual three–which are quite deep as a result, using brass bail pull hardware lending functional ornamentation to the piece, complemented by small keyhole escutcheons leaving great swathes of the wood to appreciate for the tones and grain pattern. No key is present. Turned, fluted feet elevate the case from the floor. Cleaned, tightened, and polished with a French paste wax this antique commode is ready to join your interior.
