Antique French Mahogany Marble Top Commode
Antique French Mahogany Marble Top Commode
Couldn't load pickup availability
Antique French marble-top commode, circa 1800, in figured mahogany with fine geometric parquetry banding and oval reserves in the Neoclassical taste. Three drawers behind a grey-and-white veined marble top, with quarter-column corners on block feet.
A statement piece with real age to it, the sort of commode that anchors an entry or sits under a mirror in a bedroom. The parquetry stringing that frames each drawer and the oval-banded lower reserve are the character here, set against the plume figure of the mahogany.
Sold as-is with the photos governing condition. This is a genuinely early piece and it shows its age honestly. Every drawer front has splitting in the veneer and solid, and both side panels have splitting as well, most visible as a vertical run down the proper-left side. The top drawer has had earlier repair work, including a patched veneer corner visible in the detail photos. The mahogany surface has been worked at some point and carries a later finish; the method could not be determined, so it is described that way rather than called original. None of the drawer locks function, there is no working key to my knowledge, and the keyhole escutcheon covers are missing. The marble top has yellow staining toward the back edge and the usual edge wear, and there is splitting in the wood lip that surrounds the marble. Dimensions are approximate. Species is assessed as mahogany veneer from the figure and color, with oak and pine secondary. Date is a construction-based estimate; there is no maker's mark.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage
Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.
Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.
We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.
