Italian Neoclassical Style Bombe Commode

This is a large, triple-bank Bombe-style commode, likely of mid-20th century Italian manufacture. The piece features a dramatic serpentine front and sides with a swelled 'bombe' profile. It is constructed with a combination of burl wood veneers and intricate floral marquetry/parquetry on the drawer fronts and top surface. The case contains nine drawers arranged in three columns. Each drawer front is adorned with elaborate scrolling foliate marquetry and cast ormolu-style brass bail handles with decorative backplates. The piece is further embellished with ornate gilt metal mounts (sabots) on the out-curved legs and along the scalloped apron and corners. The high-gloss lacquered finish highlights the rich grain of the walnut or fruitwood veneers. Condition appears good overall, though there is visible surface wear, minor edge scuffs, and some dulling of the gilt metal components consistent with age. Modern production markers are often found on the interior or back, though not visible here. The craftsmanship reflects the flamboyant Louis XV revival style popular in high-end Italian furniture from the 1950s-1970s.
