Black Louis XV Floral Commode

Lovely Louis XV style black commode! Three large spacious drawers make this a practical as well as aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture. The antique painted finish shows age appropriate wear for a beautiful antique such as this. Hand painted flowers cover the piece. Drawers all slide smoothly and the piece is in wonderful structural condition. 

The furniture of the Louis XV period (1715-1774) is characterized by curved forms, lightness, comfort and asymmetry; it replaced the more formal, boxlike and massive furniture of the Louis XIV style. Artisans employed inlays of exotic woods of different colors, as well as ivory and mother of pearl as well as soft and delicate paintings.
