Description from the seller

Splendid and authentic antique commode from the Empire / Charles X (first half of the 19th century, circa 1820–1840), characterized by an elegant geometric line and great historical charm.
The cabinet is made of walnut wood with a splendid and figured walnut veneer on the sides. The front features a single hinged door with original solid wood interior shelves. The straight uprights are enriched with refined metal gold-plated/brass decorative elements and capitals, while the base rests on the typical onion-shaped feet, blackened, iconic elements of the period style.
The top surface is completed by its splendid and contemporaneous original white Carrara veined marble slab, with a thickness of 2 cm.
Thanks to its compact and slender dimensions, this piece fits perfectly both as a bedroom nightstand and as an elegant entryway cabinet, living room side table, or lamp stand, integrating splendidly even in modern environments.
Precise dimensions
• Structure in wood: 78 cm (Height) x 39 cm (Width) x 35 cm (Depth)
• Marble top: 41 cm x 35 cm x 2 cm (Thickness)
Condition
The piece is intact and in first patina, solid in its structure. Being an authentic 19th-century piece, it shows the usual and fascinating signs of time that testify to its authenticity: a light opacification of the original finish on the door, a few superficial scratches on the marble due to use, and the absence of the key for the lock.
Ideal for collectors, antique lovers or for those who wish a small piece of history to enhance with a light cleaning or waxing.
