Contemporary Italian glass-clad malachite-colored commode, Murano, 21st c., fitted with six drawers, rising on gilt-metal splayed legs, (four) glass drawer fronts intact with stable hairlines, approx 34.75"h, 50"w, 21.25"d **Provenance: Dallas, Texas: When the madness of collecting collides with connoisseurship**

09/10/2026: In my opinion regarding LOT :  1210- the commode is in sturdy and stable condition, as described the three drawers on the right and the central left drawer are all intact with stable hairlines running across panels, the pattern is busy making this difficult to see, however, I have taken images for reference,  the metal displays some rubs, surface wear along drawer edges, spotting and light imperfections as commensurate with use, drawers slide well but are a bit tight, interiors appear clean with only slight wear, in my opinion the piece is visually impressive
