Antique Georgian Flame Mahogany Commode Chest c1790
A fine example of an antique Georgian flame mahogany commode chest. With a double hinged top attached to the double drawer dummy face revealing the pine internal pot shelf. The lower section is also faced with dummy drawers hiding the cavity where the porcelain pot rests. The chest stands on splayed bracket feet leading to the serpentine apron above which are the four drawer faces; to represent each drawer there is a fine border of ebony stringing inlaid into the flame mahogany veneer, with each drawer having two very finely made solid cast brass lions head ring pull handles. To make this chest more utilitarian it could easily house a small stereo system or a rather unique drinks cabinet without causing any damage to it.

The antique commode arrived to us in a very poor state of repair. We have carried out a considerable amount of restoration in order to preserve this piece for future generations of use. We have treated the piece for woodworm which it has had in the past and signs of which are visible on the carcass. The hinged upper double drawer face shows slight signs of bowing which is understandable given its history and use. There are signs of previous restoration work on the top right hand side of the drawers which in our opinion does not diminish the overall appeal of this piece.

Antique George III Tray Top Commode / Night Table
An unusually complete antique George III Mahogany Tray Top Commode / Night Table. This beautiful piece incorporates ingenious craftsmanship and features a serpentine tray top with 2 pierced side handles and pierced ventilation holes to the rear. The doors have a satinwood cross banding with rosewood veneer to centre. The pot holding drawer pulls out on split legs to reveal the commode seat which is oak. Removal of the seat allows access to the ceramic bowl which is in very good condition. Although now technically obsolete its unusual to find such a fine example in such good condition and at this very competitive price.
