The top is shaped with a serpentine molded edge, following the curves of the drawers below. The base features a scalloped apron with a central notch and short cabriole-like feet, completing the Louis XV-inspired silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example has been expertly stripped and refinished in a soft, natural, matte blonde finish - as seen in your photos - revealing a beautiful, lightly figured grain with curly or tiger maple figuring on the side panels and drawer fronts. The finish is very much in the coveted Gustavian \/ Belgian \/ Scandinavian bleached wood trend, giving a 300-year-old form a fresh, modern, organic feel. Perfect for California, French Country, or Swedish interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing four graduated, convex drawers, each with its original antiqued brass hardware: bail pulls with rosette backplates featuring a shell \/ foliate design, and pierced rocaille escutcheons with keyhole motifs, as captured in your detailed macros. The hardware has a dark, time-worn patina that contrasts beautifully with the pale wood. As your detail shots show, the drawers are constructed with a curved front that matches the bombé side, a difficult and expensive joinery feat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eDimensions:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eHeight: 39 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eWidth: 51 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eDepth: 22.5 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eSold As:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eSet of 1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eStyle:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eDutch Colonial\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eMaterials and Techniques:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eBrass, Marble\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePlace of Origin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eItaly\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eDate of Manufacture:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eMid-20th century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eCondition:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"_1862016c _57a9be25\" type=\"button\"\u003eDistressed\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eWear consistent with age and use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Melissa Levinson Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51606360817970,"sku":null,"price":4800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/4321\/6690\/files\/f_51443882_1786764727359_bg_processed.jpg?v=1787074799","url":"https:\/\/melissalevinson.com\/products\/a-sculptural-dutch-bombe-commode-in-bleached-maple","provider":"Melissa Levinson Antiques ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
