Louis XV-style bowed sauteuse commode in marquetry and gilt bronze

Elegant Louis XV-style sauteuse commode, richly adorned with geometric marquetry in precious woods.

The shaped façade features four drawers and two central bowed drawers, highlighted by a symmetrical decorative scheme that showcases the fine woodwork.

The drawers are fitted with attractive gilt bronze escutcheons and drop handles.

The two central drawers are set with remarkable finely chiselled gilt bronze feminine mascarons.

The shaped stiles and cabriole legs are mounted with gilt bronze foliate drops and sabots, while a decorative applique enlivens the lower rail.

The shaped top follows the lines of the piece harmoniously, accentuating its elegance.

The quality of the marquetry, the abundance of gilt bronze mounts, and the well-balanced proportions make this a highly decorative piece of furniture, ideal for a drawing room, bedroom, or refined entrance hall.
