This Louis XIV commode epitomises the transitional style of French cabinet furniture, blending powerful curves with restrained ornamentation. Its bombe form is reminiscent of notable pieces in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, whilst the substantial marble top underscores its use as a statement item for grand interiors. Echoing the work of Parisian ébénistes of the Régence, this dresser makes an impressive addition to both traditional and contemporary spaces.

  • Suitable as a striking focal point in drawing rooms, bedrooms, or high-status collections, this commode remains as functional as it is decorative.
