Description from the seller

Gorgeous Venetian Louis XV-style commode – hand-painted – mid-20th century
​Description:
​For auction: an elegant and characterful small chest of drawers (commode) in the refined Venetian Rococo style (Louis XV). This piece is a splendid example of European craftsmanship from the mid-20th century.
​Features and aesthetics:
​The commode is finished in a warm cream/ivory tone, fully coated with an authentic crackle effect, giving the furniture a lived-in, antique look. The piece is richly decorated with hand-painted polychrome floral reliefs in soft pastel colors (pink, green and blue).
​A particular and surprising detail is the interior of the drawers: these are finished in a beautiful, vibrant azure blue (baby blue), which forms a luxurious contrast with the light exterior.
​Details:
​Style: Venetian Rococo / Louis XV.
​Period: Circa 1950-1970.
​Poten: Elegant cabriole legs with subtle wood carving.
​Beslag: Original bronze/metal handles with a dark patina.
​Conditie: In good vintage state with light signs of use that contribute to the character. The crackle is stable and the drawers run smoothly.
​Afmetingen: 70 × 43 × 73 cm.
​Waarom dit stuk?
​This is not just a piece of furniture, but a decorative object that directly adds atmosphere to a hall, bedroom or living room. The unique blue interior and the artisanal finish make it a coveted item for lovers of classical and romantic interiors.
​Levering:
Gezien de kwetsbaarheid van het decoratieve craquelé geniet ophalen de voorkeur. Internationale verzending is mogelijk in overleg, waarbij het meubel zeer zorgvuldig en beschermd (indien nodig in een houten kist) zal worden verpakt.
