Description: Rare quartered oak half commode signed "T. Brooks,
Brooklyn,
NY" underneath the marble. The original marble has minor staining on
the
top and has all four corners cut to match the contour of the base. The
drawer front, door panel, base, back and side panels are all made of
highly
figured walnut. There are bar pulls on the drawer and door to the
cupboard.
The oak and walnut are a very unusual combination of woods. Brooks
is one
of the best cabinet makers of this period. This is a very
interesting and
attractive example of his work!
