Antique pine wood commode – Central Europe, around 1880

Antique pine commode from Central Europe. It comes from rural domestic furniture of the 19th century, when dark ochre paint characterized the bedrooms of country houses. Commodes of this type furnished rural bedrooms, combining three large storage drawers with cut legs that visually lighten the whole. The body, with three drawers, features a molded cornice and rests on cut legs at all four corners. The original dark ochre paint shows some localized losses revealing the light wood on the edges, with white ceramic handles and original locks in place. In a contemporary bedroom or living room, it serves as a storage commode, bringing the rustic warmth of painted furniture from Central Europe. Details.
