Dimensions: 32 ½” H x 51 ⅜” W x 24 ¼” D
An extraordinary French mahogany commode from the 18th century, Louis XVI Period, decorated with an impressive marquetry technique that creates movement and definition over the drawer fronts and side panels.

Across the top row are three drawers of geometric marquetry designs to outline them–like two rows of twisting ribbon–in alternating blonde and dark woods. Brass bail pulls operate the left and right drawers while the middle drawer requires the key to function as a pull (lock is intact but does not turn). The two wide drawers across the center and below, follow the rhythm as above with three distinct rectangular “frames” around the drawer hardware, in graphic marquetry of dark/light woods that have been hand-decorated in wispy patterns of red pigment suggesting plumes or waves–adding depth and regal grandeur to this already fine example of the woodworker’s craft. The side panels have complementary inlaid designs, themes which are replicated down the turrets (using marquetry to imply fluted recesses) moving into the conical feet so from every perspective one can admire the visionary intentions of the maker even two centuries later. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, this commode is ready to be enjoyed in your interior.

French Pair of Louis XV Wingback Bergeres & Ottoman
Dimensions: 42” H x 28 ¼” W x 28 ¼” D
A sophisticated pair of French 19th century wingback bergere armchairs and large matching ottoman. One side of the ottoman is concave to fit the bowed front of the chair–forming a kind of chaise longue as desired–and curves out on the opposite side, along the lines of a Duchesse Brisee set. Typical of the Louis XV style, carved oak frames outlining the navy blue upholstery are accented by low finials in foliate motif along the serpentine curves from the handrail through the arms. They are accented with little manchette upholstered elbow pads for comfort. Supremely comfortable cushions on each wide seat make this set easy to incorporate into any existing home decor. The chenille-type fabric, likely added in the 20th century, in luminous indigo blue is in fair condition with a burn mark on one of the seats. Comfortable and deep, the seat height is 17 ¾” to the crown. Please know the chair legs have been tightened, and all the frames cleaned & polished with a French paste wax to be ready for their next chapter.
