Antique French Demi Lune Commode – Louis XVI Marble Top Chest

Elegant antique French demi-lune commode dating from the late 18th century and crafted in the Louis XVI style. This refined semicircular chest of drawers features graceful proportions, three drawers, and a beautifully shaped façade, making it an attractive piece for both classic and contemporary interiors.

The cabinet is constructed from oak with a walnut veneer, showcasing warm tones and attractive grain patterns throughout. Decorative marquetry details and geometric inlay accents add to its refined appearance, while the original-style brass hardware and escutcheons complement the period character of the piece. The tapered legs retain their decorative metal sabots, a feature often found on quality French furniture of this era.

The commode is topped with a marble surface displaying beautiful natural veining in warm pink, grey, and beige tones. The marble has been professionally repaired a long time ago, resulting in a stable and usable surface while preserving the authentic antique character of the piece.

The three drawers provide practical storage and retain traditional handcrafted joinery details consistent with antique construction. The rear of the cabinet remains more utilitarian in finish, typical of period French furniture.
