Antique Italian Two Drawer Commode c.1850
Bring timeless Italian elegance into your home with this beautiful mid-19th century painted commode, dating from around 1850. Crafted with a graceful serpentine front, shaped apron and elegant cabriole legs, it retains the wonderful proportions and understated sophistication that make antique Italian furniture so desirable.
Finished in a beautifully aged soft sage green with contrasting cream highlights, the commode displays an exceptional naturally aged patina developed over generations. The beautifully aged painted finish, gently worn edges and rich character give the piece an authentic charm that simply cannot be recreated.
The two generously sized drawers are fitted with decorative period brass handles and escutcheons, providing practical storage while preserving the elegance of the design. The original dark top provides a striking contrast to the painted finish, enhancing the warmth and character of the piece.
Perfect as a bedroom chest, entrance hall statement piece or elegant living room storage, this antique Italian commode sits comfortably within both traditional and contemporary interiors, adding colour, history and individuality wherever it is placed.
As with all genuine antique furniture, gentle signs of age, wear and historic use are to be expected and form an important part of its unique character.

Authenticity
Every antique piece at Tallulah Fox has lived a unique life before finding its way to us. Gentle wear, historic repairs, natural patina and the character that comes with age are not imperfections but part of each piece's story, making every item entirely individual. We believe these signs of age are what give antique furniture its warmth, authenticity and enduring appeal.
Why We Love This Piece
We love the wonderfully generous proportions and elegant simplicity of this Italian commode. The two broad drawers give it a particularly handsome presence, while the beautifully aged painted finish brings warmth and character. At 145 cm wide, it is substantial enough to make a statement while remaining an exceptionally practical piece of storage furniture.
