Title

A fine 19th century French Louis XVI style petite commode handcrafted of walnut in the South of France, circa 1880s. This elegant chest of drawers combines the timeless appeal of neoclassical design with exquisite marquetry and a richly colored Rosso Levanto marble top.

 

Featuring a beautifully bleached or washed finish, this petite chest is topped with a pristine reddish-brown marble slab with crisp white veining, having classic cookie cutter corners. The façade showcases four full-length drawers with intricate fruitwood marquetry in geometric herringbone and chevron patterns framed by darker wood stringing. Brass escutcheons with delicate floral garlands punctuate the drawers, providing both security and ornamentation. Carved and fluted stiles frame the piece, adding architectural balance. Raised on turned toupie feet ending in wood sabots. 

 

The commode’s proportions make it an ideal piece for smaller spaces, yet its design details and refined craftsmanship command attention in any setting. Perfect for a bedroom, entryway, or living room, this beautiful petite commode embodies the neoclassical elegance of the Louis XVI period, with the charm and authenticity of a handcrafted piece from the South of France.
