A superb French 19th Century Empire commode, painted in a beautifully whitewashed blue that has softened over time to a chalky finish) one of the most sought-after tones in French painted furniture. The paint surface is authentically aged, with gentle wear at the corners and edges that speaks to a long and well-loved life in a French interior.

The form is quintessentially Empire: a bold overhanging cornice above a discreet frieze drawer, followed by three generous main drawers, all sitting on a plinth base with bracket feet. The drawer fronts are fitted with keyhole escutcheons. Clean, architectural, and built with the solid confidence of mid-19th century French craftsmanship.
