French Rococo Style Two-Drawer Bombe Commode Nightstand

This is a substantial, French Rococo-inspired two-drawer bombe commode used as a nightstand. The piece features a serpentine front and heavily contoured sides, characteristic of the 18th-century French Provincial style. The construction consists of a dark-stained, polished wood top—likely mahogany or cherry veneer—with a beveled edge, contrasting sharply against the cream or antique white painted body. The drawers and side panels are heavily ornamented with molded scrollwork, acanthus leaves, and central cartouche motifs. The paint is intentionally distressed with a dark glaze or 'shabby chic' patina to simulate age, settling into the recesses of the carvings. The piece stands on short, cabriole legs terminating in scroll feet, connected by a highly ornate, pierced apron featuring a central shell carving. The scale suggest a late 20th or early 21st-century high-end reproduction rather than a period antique, often associated with luxury furniture brands like Pulaski or Habersham. Condition appears excellent with no visible structural damage; the distressing is consistent with factory finishing. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the detailed resin or carved wood appliques and the heavy, stable presence of the piece within the bedroom suite.
