French Louis XVI style mahogany commode, 19th c., having inset marble top with pierced gilt-metal three-quarter gallery, above three drawers with brass trim, flanked by fluted corner posts, rising on tapered legs, ending on brass cap feet, approx 35.5"h, 49"w, 23"d

02.17.2026- In my opinion regarding LOT: 3311- due to gallery placement, I am unable to fully access the commode, please refer to online images for best and zoomed views, the antique commode is in sturdy and stable condition,  as pictured online, the rear back corner of the gallery shows a dent at raised corner, the front right corner needs a nail (simple fix), gallery and metal inlays show some slight bending patination and wear, the case exhibits a warm patina with tonal variation, it would benefit from a good cleaning as there is some dust/dirt accumulation, overall I observe some small losses, nicks, and light wear, drawers slide well however would benefit from a good waxing to facilitate even smoother movement, all mentioned commensurate with age and use
