Description

A fine late 18th-century bedside night table in well-figured mahogany, the serpentine front outlined with crossbanding and stringing. The upper section features an unusual and elegantly curved tambour door, opening to reveal a storage compartment. Beneath, a pull-out commode drawer retains its original circular aperture, with a further dummy drawer front below for visual balance.

Raised on six square tapering legs with light line inlay, giving the piece a refined, architectural stance. Brass ring handles and original patination throughout complete the look.

A very good example of a Georgian bedside commode, displaying excellent craftsmanship and a sophisticated profile typical of high-quality cabinet work from the late 18th century.

A decorative and functional Georgian furniture piece, now ideal as a bedside, lamp table, or hallway accent.

circa 1790
