Dating from 1840/Louis Phillipe period. Furniture of the Louis Philippe period was the first to serve the bourgeoisie rather than royalty. Designers aimed to provide this busy class with comfort and practical living, whilst reflecting their social legitimacy with refined and stylish furniture.This is a serious statement piece of furniture. Exquisite detail to walnut book matched panels. The wonderful bleached finish gives this commode a modern clean design look.
