A Louis XV Gilt Bronze Mounted Painted Marble-Top Commode
Mid-18th Century
Height 33 1/2 x width 51 1/2 x depth 24 1/2 inches.
This lot is located in Chicago.

The commode is of mid 18th century construction, but was re-painted in the 19th or early 20th century, with more recent enhancements to the painted decoration. Sturdy overall, with craquelure and flaking paint with some chips which add to the patina. The marble top showing some age but probably not original.
