19th Century French Louis XVI–Style Mahogany Commode with Black Marble Top

A refined 19th-century French Louis XVI–style mahogany commode, distinguished by its clean lines, balanced proportions, and elegant black marble top. The façade features three drawers, each fitted with original brass hardware and functioning locks, while the tapered legs and fluted corner details reflect the restrained neoclassical influence characteristic of the period.

Crafted with hand-cut dovetail joinery, this commode exemplifies traditional French cabinetmaking, with solid wood drawer construction and paneled sides. The rich mahogany surface displays a warm, time-earned patina, offering both depth and understated sophistication.

Well-suited for a bedroom, entryway, or living space, this piece pairs timeless French design with practical storage—an antique that feels equally polished and livable.
