A very fine Early 18th century French Louis XV Commode "forme galbée" or bombe serpentine embellished with beautiful, original ormolu bronze mounts and fixtures throughout. Both sides are bombe shaped both with detailed inlay work.

Original marble top, locks and key. Exquisite patina. Hardware has been professionally re-gilded.

The body is composed of three large drawers for ample storage and mounted atop shaped sabre feet. The gilded bronze mount decorations throughout

feature horses and seashell shapes. Wonderfully constructed of rosewood, walnut and mahogany woods.

Dating from the Early 18th Century this bombe commode exemplifies French craftsmanship. The original marble top is very unique in color with green, gray and red hues.

The commode has recently been restored and refinished using the traditional French polish technique.

Measures: Depth 25.25 in. x Width 54 in. x Height 34.38 in. Would enhance any setting.

We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you.

Notes on this piece

  • One of a kind. Sold in as-found condition with wear consistent with its age. Ask us for additional photographs or measurements before you buy — we answer the same day.
  • On the attribution. Words such as “style of”, “manner of”, “attributed to”, “after” or “circle of” describe our informed opinion based on form, construction and materials. They are not a certification of authorship. Where authorship is documented, we say so plainly and name the evidence.
  • Returns. One day from delivery for a change of mind — buyer pays shipping and a 15% restocking fee. If the fault is ours, none of that applies: 7 days, full refund including your original shipping, we pay the return freight, no restocking fee. See our refund policy.

Domestic shipping

Every piece ships from our warehouse in Miami. Shipping is quoted per order, so you are never charged an estimate — we price the actual crate, the actual route, and the actual service level, and send it to you before you commit.

Small and medium decorative objects — lamps, vases, prints, ceramics — travel by FedEx or UPS Ground, fully insured, signature required. Typical transit is 3–7 business days.

Furniture and large pieces travel by white-glove freight with BMC International Freight. Delivery is room of choice, subject to the carrier's access at your address. Freight transit varies by destination and is typically 7–14 business days. We contact you to arrange a delivery window.

International shipping

We ship worldwide, quoted case by case. Tell us the piece and the destination and we will price crating, freight, insurance and customs handling for you.

Packing

Every piece is packed by hand using museum-quality materials. Fragile items are double-boxed with custom foam inserts. Glass and detachable elements are removed and packed separately, then reassembled on arrival.

Returns

Returns are accepted within one day of delivery. To return a piece, notify us within that window and return it in the same condition in which it arrived.

The buyer pays all shipping costs — outbound and return — and a 15% restocking fee.

This mirrors the terms you already know from the major marketplaces. Because the window is short, we would rather you ask first: request additional photographs, measurements or a condition report before you buy, and we will send them the same day.

If something arrives damaged

Photograph the packaging and the piece before unpacking further, and contact us within 48 hours. We handle all freight claims directly and will arrange a resolution.
