Description:

A SMALL PROVINCIAL LOUIS XVI MARBLE-TOPPED WALNUT COMMODE
Last quarter 18th century

Rectangular, the grey-veined white marble top above two drawers, raised on fluted tapering square supports, the front carved in low relief with a basket of wheat and vases of flowers
85cm high, 83cm wide, 45cm deep

  • Condition: Generally in very good condition consistent with age and use.

    The marble top, which is of considerable age and might be original, has an old crack extending from its front edge on the left side to about half its depth; the crack, which appears stable with no movement, is discoloured with ingrained dirt for much of its length before becoming more inconspicuous and petering out. There are slight chips and general wear around the edges of the marble.

    To the carcase and its surfaces there are typical occasional minor shrinkage cracks, light knocks, scrape, and scratches, and scattered old woodworm holes (including to the pine backboards), and general light use-related wear

    The drawer runners are worn but not hindering free movement of the drawers.
