Louis XV Kidney-Shaped Marquetry Commode with Marble Top & Ormolu Mounts

Royal French Inspiration

Inspired by the opulent cabinetry of 18th-century Versailles, this kidney-shaped commode embodies the graceful asymmetry and organic curves synonymous with the Louis XV era. Its sinuous silhouette, bombé form, and delicate cabriole legs crowned with gilded sabots evoke the grandeur of the French royal court.

Exceptional Materials

The piece is masterfully constructed from solid ebonized hardwood, its lustrous lacquered surface serving as a dramatic canvas for intricate marquetry panels rendered in warm mahogany and fruitwood veneers. The generously sized oval top is dressed in genuine blush-toned marble, lending natural elegance and practicality to this statement piece.

Ormolu Brass Craftsmanship

Every gilded mount — from the sweeping foliate corner cartouches and escutcheons to the scrolled apron pull and delicate toe sabots — is individually cast and hand-finished in antique brass, replicating the authentic ormolu technique of 18th-century French bronziers. Two richly inlaid drawers with porcelain bead pulls complete the composition.

Handcrafted in Egypt by Brass & Wood

Each commode is entirely handcrafted by Brass & Wood's master artisans in Egypt, uniting time-honored European joinery traditions with meticulous hand-finishing, ensuring every piece is a singular work of functional art destined to anchor any classical interior.
