18th Century French Louis XVI Plum Pudding Mahogany Commode
SOLD
A French Louis XVI Period Commode, Veneered in Plum Pudding Mahogany and with Profuse Number of Ormolu Mounts.
This finely made piece of 18th century French furniture features a white marble top with ormolu gallery. The front corners of the gallery are everted and supported on columns which break up the otherwise austere rectangular silhouette. There is nothing at all austere about the decoration of this piece. There are ormolu mounts to each drawer front, between the drawers and to the columns, matching brass inlay used to highlight the flutes. The toupie feet are also mounted in two places with ormolu. The veneers chosen are equally luxurious with the front of the piece employing plum pudding mahogany.
No expense was spared in the production of this wonderful piece of French furniture which is as impressive today as the day it was made.
