Tom Scott Antiques

Description

A lovely early c19th French Louis xvi period 3/4 size two drawer commode chest of drawers with its original breakfront marble top, matching the breakfront of the two drawer front. Circa 1780.
Beautifully finished with the chevroned marquetry and banded inlays to the front and both side panels too.
Standing on square tapering legs and finished with brass capped feet.
The chest is in good condition and has not been overly restored throughout its lifetime, so there are signs of age to it and the colour has a wonderful warm walnut glow.
The marble top is in good condition and is certainly the original with the matching breakfront to the centre.
The drawers both run smoothly, so this could be a useful storage piece, but being the 3/4 size that it is and so decorative, it would stand alone well as a feature piece in a hall or alcove for example.
Original backboards and also under the marble top, you have the original boards too, also with a lovely transport label showing it was moved from De Lyon Guillotiere to Grenoble.
Measuring:
32 1/2” or 83cm high
34 3/4” or 88.5cm wide
18 1/4” or 46.5cm deep
