Description

A Pair of 19th Century French Burr Elm Commodes.

These beautiful commodes have a very contemporary look due to the use of relatively pale woods for most of their veneered construction. The contrast between pale elm and panels of burr elm of exceptional figure give them a striking look. The tops of the commodes have beautiful bookmatched panels of burr elm, other panels of the same wood are set in to the sides of each commode and the drawer fronts. The architectural columns either side of the drawer fronts are ebonised with ormolu capitals and bases bringing another interesting contrast to the design.

A very interesting pair of commodes that will work in traditional and contemporary settings.
