Description from the seller

Beautiful Venetian Louis XV-style commode – Hand-painted – Mid-20th century
​Description:
​Up for auction: an elegant and characterful chest of drawers (commode) in the refined Venetian Rococo style (Louis XV). This piece is a stunning example of European craftsmanship from the mid-20th century.
​Features and aesthetics:
​The commode is finished in a warm cream/ivory tone, fully treated with an authentic craquelé effect, giving the piece a well-worn, antique look. The piece is richly adorned with hand-painted polychrome floral reliefs in soft pastel colors (pink, green and blue).
​A particularly special and surprising detail is the inside of the drawers: they are finished in a beautiful, vibrant azure blue (baby blue), creating a luxurious contrast with the light exterior.
​Details:
​Style: Venetian Rococo / Louis XV.
​Period: Circa 1950-1970.
​Feet: Elegant cabriole legs with subtle woodcarving.
​Hardware: Original bronze/metal handles with a dark patina.
​Condition: In good vintage condition with light signs of wear that add to its character. The craquelé is stable and the drawers slide smoothly.
​Dimensions: 70 × 43 × 73 cm.
​Why this piece?
​This is not just a piece of furniture, but a decorative object that immediately adds atmosphere to a hall, bedroom, or living room. The unique blue interior and the craftsmanship make it a coveted item for fans of classic and romantic interiors.
​Delivery:
Given the fragility of the decorative craquelé, pickup is preferred. International shipping is possible by agreement, with the furniture packed very carefully and protected (if necessary in a wooden crate).
