French Louis XVI style walnut commode, 19th c., having shaped top over drop-front with drawer facade, opening to reveal worn inset writing surface, fitted with four small drawers and two central cubbies, rising on tapered legs, approx 35"h, 37.75"w, 24.25"d

08.23.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 3441: I note that the commode is presently intact and structurally secure, with the front right leg having a minor glue repair, only visible from a very light yellowing of the adhesive at joinery seam, the case exhibits tonal variation, largely due to fading, throughout but concentrated to the top panel, I observe minor filled reinforcement to some minute panel separation of the top, as well as light wear including minor peeling to the parcel ebonized trim around the drawer perimeters, all drawers operate smoothly, with patination of the pulls, the inset writing surface is worn as described, including lifting, fading, and minor peeling, the wood trim around inset having writing utensil staining, typical minor surface wear such as light abrasions and nicks are commensurate with use and 19th century origin
