Pair of Early 20th Century French Cherrywood Five-Drawer Commodes by André Mailfert
Superb quality pair of early 20th century solid cherrywood five-drawer commodes by the renowned French furniture maker André Mailfert (1884–1943) of Orléans, France.
Mailfert became famous for his remarkably convincing reproductions of 18th century French furniture, particularly pieces inspired by the Louis XV period. He specialised in using carefully selected aged timber, often incorporating old woodworm markings or artificially distressing the wood to create the appearance and patina of much earlier furniture.
These substantial commodes are beautifully constructed, exceptionally heavy and well-made, with traditional pegged joints, quality aged brass hardware and a wonderful rich cherrywood patina. (1097C)
A fine example of the craftsmanship associated with the Mailfert workshops, combining the charm and character of traditional French country furniture with excellent practical storage.
Dimensions: width 121 cm x depth 51 cm x height 84 cm
