A transitional Louis XV/XVI-style marquetry demilune commode
20th century
The wood cabinet featuring marquetry veneer and mounted gilt-bronze trim and accents in egg-and-dart and scrolled laurel wreath patterns with a higher relief mask centering the latch-locked front cabinet door, revealing and open cavity, all surmounted by a beveled white and brown marble top and supported on four curvilinear legs with gilt-bronze paw feet
40.125" H x 46.5" W x 22.25" D

Overall good condition with scattered scuffs, scratches, nicks, shrinkage cracks, indentations, and separation at joints commensurate with age. The marble top with a 27" crack through, which has been reassembled and restored. One side with trim slightly raised from its mounting. A pea-sized chip to the veneer of the door at the juncture. Lacking key. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
