Bombe French Marquetry Marble Top Chest or Dresser

Antiques : Furniture : Bedroom Furniture

 

An authentic antique mahogany French commode or three drawer chest has a shaped marble top. The bombe or convex sides and front have artistically inlaid marquetry of rosewood and elm burl.

Heavy brass mounts are original, as are locks and key. The richly grained marble is undamaged, and the gleaming original finish is excellent with very little wear and wonderful warm patina - note very faint crazing in photos. Drawers fit perfectly and have oak sides with hand cut dovetails.

This spectacular furniture was hand made about 1925. Dimensions are 40" wide, 21" deep and 32" tall.
