SOLD
An Interesting Early 19th Century French Empire Walnut Commode with Ormolu Mounts and Paw Feet.
This commode has a grey and white veined marble top which is original to the piece. Veneered throughout in curly walnut. The frieze sits above three recessed drawer fronts flanked by turned column supports with both bases and capitals featuring fine ormolu mounts. The base mounts have leaf work detailing and the capitals have a combination of stars and flower heads. Standing on carved paw feet with leaf detailing above.
