This elegant set, consisting of a Louis Philippe period three-drawer commode and a matching small storage trunk, is a stunning example of personalized antique furniture. Originally crafted in the classic Louis Philippe style, these pieces were beautifully transformed in the 1960s by their owner, who hand-painted and lacquered them with an intricate floral design.
The delicate flowers, rendered in warm tones of yellow, orange, and gold, are skillfully painted across the surfaces of both pieces, creating a cohesive and elegant decorative theme. The lacquer finish adds a lustrous sheen, protecting the artwork and enhancing the vibrancy of the colors. The artist's signature, as shown in the accompanying image, adds a personal touch and attests to the care and creativity involved in this unique customization.
These pieces combine the timeless appeal of Louis Philippe design with the charm of mid-20th century artistry. Perfect for those who appreciate both antique and vintage styles, this set would make a beautiful addition to any bedroom, living room, or hallway, offering both practical storage and a touch of floral elegance.
