Made from walnut, it features three drawers decorated with shaped moldings and small brass drop handles set within oval surrounds. The gently scalloped apron, short curved legs and paneled sides give it the same attention to detail as a larger piece of period furniture. The wood has developed a rich, warm patina, with beautiful variations in grain and tone that emphasize its age. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIts original purpose is uncertain, but it may have been made as a salesman's sample, demonstrating the maker's skill and elegant design on a miniature scale. The commode is in very good antique condition, with drawers that slide smoothly and minor wear consistent with age. A small chip along the upper edge of the bottom drawer adds to its authentic antique charm. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIt would be lovely on a dressing table to hold jewelry and small keepsakes, or on a desk as a miniature chest for letters and personal treasures. It could also find a delightful place in a child's bedroom, introducing a little piece of 18th-century French craftsmanship into the room. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 17¼\" high x 22½\" wide x 13½\" deep  \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 44cm high x 57cm wide x 34cm deep \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55445581693266,"sku":"26287","price":2439.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC02974_ee64dccd-3ce0-4687-a541-d80c319553fe.jpg?v=1794589076","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/delightful-18th-century-miniature-walnut-commode-with-three-drawers-171-4","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
