Title

An elegant early 20th century French Empire style four-drawer commode, handcrafted in the South of France near the medieval city of Narbonne, in the heart of Occitanie, circa 1920s. This refined antique French chest of drawers boasts a handsome painted finish, featuring a charcoal gray rectangular top above a hidden apron drawer adorned with ormolu wreaths. Below, a trio of full-size drawers is painted in a soft off-white and embellished with delicate floral and foliate motifs. In true Empire style, two decorative columns with brass capitals and bases frame the drawers, which are adorned with circular brass pulls. The piece stands on tall, carved circular feet, and the generously scaled drawers offer ample storage for any room.

 

The Empire period introduced a neoclassical style inspired by Greco-Roman motifs, emerging after the French Revolution as a symbol of Napoleonic France’s imperial grandeur. This style reflects the era's emphasis on stately design and sophisticated craftsmanship, qualities embodied in this handsome commode.
