France. Circa 1880.

​

Created at the end of the 19th century in the fashion of 100 years prior, this commode employs a fascinating mahogany referred to as “plum pudding” because of its wild, undulating grain.  Attractively trimmed in brass and topped with a lively salmon marble, this commode features unique proportions that make it a little boxier than its period cousins, thus offering a classic look in a modern shape.
