Louis XV walnut commode, 18th century

Louis XV period commode in solid walnut, opening with three drawers featuring curved fronts, adorned with a floral-inspired carved decoration. The sides each consist of two original panels. The cabinetmaker's craftsmanship is expressed in the flowing lines of the drawers, the delicacy of the carvings, and the balance of proportions. The vegetal motifs accompany the curves of the front and highlight the nuances of the walnut. The original bronze handles, finely hand-chiseled, feature heads of characters. The richness of their details reflects the care taken in the bronze work. Their design complements the wood carvings, forming a harmonious and coherent ensemble where both crafts enhance each other. This commode retains its original patina and locks. It is offered without a key and is in very good condition. Provenance: Loire Valley. According to the family history passed down with the piece, it occupied the bedroom of the landowner and has been preserved from generation to generation.
