Louis XVI Ormolu Mounted Marble Top Commode

A fine and stylish French chest of the period that all of our first five American Presidents appreciated. Related pieces can be seen at Mt. Vernon, Monticello, The James Monroe Museum and the White House. This commode has its original brasses and marble top and shows an unusual decorative feature of raised panels surrounded by ormolu beading.

The marble has been cracked and professionally repaired.
