Marquetry Commode, Louis XVI Style – 1st part of the 20th century

This Louis XVI style chest of drawers embodies all the elegance and refinement of neoclassical cabinetry through a rigorous structure with architecturally perfect symmetrical lines. Completely dressed in rosewood and violet wood veneer alternating with walnut, the piece showcases beautiful marquetry work. The front is organised into two large drawers where violet and rosewood fillets create geometric frames. Each is equipped with a delicate keyhole topped with a Louis XVI bow and ring handles with beads. These bronze fittings add a subtle touch of brilliance to the façade, completing this masterpiece. The upper top features a stunning star-shaped rose window finely inlaid at its centre. This geometric rigor continues harmoniously on the straight uprights that extend into four tapered feet, enhancing the silhouette. Supported by the lightness of its slender base, this elegant chest of drawers brilliantly combines functionality and prestige, establishing itself as a collector's piece capable of infusing timeless elegance into the most discerning interiors.
