A striking Italian Walnut commode featuring intricate geometric parquetry design. This was a time consuming technique where the craftsmen would cut diamond shapes of the same timber at different angles which produced different shaped grain giving a three dimensional appearance. This commode is in excellent original conditioned and is augmented by fine original brass handles and escutcheons.
