The drawers glide smoothly, the whole proves sturdy and in good original order with a super colour. The escutcheons and handles are original with some old sporadic woodworm to the whole. We have waxed her to retain the current patina and finish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe furniture of the Louis XV period (1715-1774) is characterised by curved forms, lightness, comfort and asymmetry; it replaced the more formal, boxlike and massive furniture of the Style Louis XIV. It employed marquetry, using inlays of exotic woods of different colors, as well as ivory and mother of pearl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery pretty indeed.","brand":"Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52562583486744,"sku":"2041","price":1900.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5800\/5784\/files\/frenchpinkcommode1.jpg?v=1787571993","url":"https:\/\/doeandhope.shop\/products\/a-french-louis-xv-style-period-painted-pine-commode-c-1890","provider":"doeandhope.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
