Late 18th-century French Oak And Walnut Commode 43¼" x 22¾"

This late 18th-century commode is crafted from oak and walnut, featuring an elegant yet understated design. Its proportions are slightly unusual, being relatively tall and shallow, making it a versatile piece for different spaces. The three drawers, constructed with dovetail joints, boast finely detailed brass handles, while the carved detailing on the uprights and the scalloped apron add a touch of refinement to its rustic character. The natural patina of the wood highlights its beautiful grain and timeworn charm, though the original keys are no longer present.

The wood has been stripped of its original paint or varnish, revealing the raw beauty of the material and enhancing its understated, rustic character. This treatment allows the natural grain to take center stage, making it a perfect fit for country-style or farmhouse interiors, where warmth and authenticity are valued.

Thanks to its distinctive proportions and timeless appeal, this commode works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors. Its relatively shallow depth makes it ideal for hallways, bedrooms, or even as a statement storage piece in a living room. Pair it with a large antique mirror above for a classic Parisian look, or contrast it with modern décor by styling it with minimal ceramics and soft lighting.
