About this work

A commode was the most important piece of furniture for storage in an 18th-century French interior. The form of this commode, with its slightly bent legs and curving sides, is typical of the years 1720 to 1740. The pagoda-shaped mount on the upper middle drawer is an example of the popularity of Chinese motifs.
