French Empire style mahogany commode, late 19th c., having marble top, over three drawers, each having lion head motifs with gilt metal ring pulls, ending on paw feet, approx 34"h, 50"w, 23"d

02.02.26: I note that the commode stands sturdy, the marble top being free from observed hairlines or restorations, with typical minor chipping, I observe tonal variations of the finish associated with light fading, surface wear such as inherent rubbing from the drawer pulls a few minute veneer chips, and crazing/ “alligatoring”, I observe a minute patch repair at the lower left corner of the apron, the drawers operate smoothly, and the metal hardware retains a bright hue and remain securely mounted, the black painted finish of the paw feet concealing a stable split, with typical small flaked losses of the paint commensurate with age and use
