For your consideration is a Rare 18th Century Louis XV French Provençal Walnut Commode. A fine example of 18th-century French craftsmanship and sophistication, ideal for collectors and interior enthusiasts seeking timeless elegance. Louis XV style is the epitome of French furniture at its finest. The eighteenth century is considered the Golden age of French furniture. It was during this time that the most refined and beautiful Royal furniture was made in the busy Paris workshops of Europe's elite cabinet makers. Rococo motifs are central to Louis XV furniture design. These include C-scrolls, S-scrolls, acanthus leaves, rocaille (shell-like) patterns, and pastoral scenes. These elements were used to create a sense of movement and natural beauty, often giving the furniture a light, almost whimsical appearance. The commode, a low chest of drawers, was a key furniture piece during this period. This commode features two elegantly carved drawers with acanthus themed escutcheons and pulls, the serpentine carved frieze has a centre carved rocaille, carved side panels. Commode is raised by cabriole legs which end in hoof-style feet. Excellent quality with superb craftsmanship, the commode is in wonderfully preserved condition, nicely finished throughout, insect damage to backboards, finish loss observed on two-board top. Measures 24"D x 46"W x 34.75"H and weighs 116 pounds.
