19th Century Petite French Flame Mahogany Commode with Marble Top

A refined piece of Louis Philippe-era craftsmanship, this petite French commode (circa 1840) showcases the elegance and utility of 19th-century design in a compact scale—making it the perfect candidate for a statement nightstand, an entryway accent, or any smaller space in need of charm and character.

Crafted in France from richly grained flame mahogany, the piece features a beautifully shaped silhouette with a deep, warm patina, subtle curved corners, and turned bun feet. It’s topped with a removable black marble slab, original to the piece, offering a striking contrast and practical surface.

Storage includes an upper frieze drawer and three full-length lower drawers, all lined in a neutral fabric that can be easily removed for a more traditional interior finish. The original brass escutcheons remain intact, and the drawers operate smoothly, reflecting the piece’s excellent condition.

With only minimal, age-appropriate wear, this commode has been lovingly preserved and offers both form and function in a petite footprint—perfect for those looking to add a touch of French history to their interiors.
