Antique French Burr Elm Commode Chest of Drawers (Louis Philippe)
 
This attractive chest of drawers features a free-standing variegated marble top with a moulded outer edge.
 
Sitting below the top are four drawers, the top one being contained within the shaped frieze.
 
All the drawers are constructed in chestnut with dovetail joints and veneered to the fronts with book-matched burr elm veneer.
 
The key hole escutcheons are all made of turned wood.
 
Three of the drawers have working locks and there is one key. One lock is missing but the drawer is functional.
 
This chest of drawers is of solid construction throughout and in excellent condition.
 
There are some signs of historic worm that has been treated and is long since gone.
 
This piece has been through our workshops, where it has been checked, cleaned and waxed ready to place in the home.
