An extremely rare and important 18th Century French Louis XV commode, recently attained and one of the finest pieces to grace our inventory. Composed of kingwood and rosewood, beautifully inlaid and parquetry veneer with rich patina. All cast bronze mounts and hardware with exquisite detailing. Also with the vintage iron locks. Topped with an extraordinary red "Griotte" or "Partridge I" marble from Herault, France; also known as "King's Marble," with old repairs. It is stamped "Tairraz" by the maker on the top right drawer, and also on the top right underneath the marble. Superb craftsmanship that has withstood the test of time and is still in pristine condition for its age; a wonderfully built and lasting structure.
