French Louis XVI style commode, late 19th c., shaped cultured marble top, over case fitted with three small drawers, above two standard drawers, protruding fluted corner posts, rising on tapered legs ending in brass cap feet, approx 34.75"h, 51"w, 23"d

10.28.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 3165: I note that the commode is presently intact and structurally sturdy, the marble top having a small number of typical minor chips to edges, as well as inherent natural inclusions and fissures, with a small restoration at the right side of front edge, all drawers currently operate smoothly, with patination of the metal hardware, both standard drawers having some small filled restorations, the right-hand side panel with splits having filled reinforcement and remaining stable and structurally sound, there is typical minor surface wear such as small nicks, chips, and abrasions commensurate with age and use, as well as a deeper abrasion at the left-hand side graduated drawer, and a small pin-head sized hole (not pierced all the way through and does not appear to be from woodworm activity, does not appear elsewhere) to the lowermost drawer near handle
