Description: Stunning Renaissance Revival birdseye maple Victorian half
commode. It has the original white cut corner marble (some slight stains
and professionally repaired chip in back). There are incised carvings with
original gilt incising. The corners have bell flower carvings along with an
applied button. The maker used a lovely and sophisticated mix of birdseye
maple with rosewood dark trim throughout the stand producing a wonderful
contrast. There is a drawer and cupboard in front. It has a finished back
(see photo). The old cast brass key is to help open the door only. A rare
and gorgeous combination of woods!
