This Commode was made in Germany in the 1900s and has a graceful Bombay-shaped curve. The deep tones of the walnut wood and the intricate grain of the heathered bulges are reminiscent of natural art. The bulging form unique to the Bombay style inherits the elegance of the 18th century Rococo style. The top plate is made of black marble, creating a beautiful contrast between the wood and stone. The drawers are engraved with floral motifs and have brass handles that add style.

Details

The Bombay Commode is a Rococo style furniture style that was popular in Europe in the 18th century. There is a theory that the name originates from Bombay (now Mumbai) in India, but in reality it was a style developed in southern France and Italy that spread throughout Europe. Its most distinctive feature is its curved shape with the front and sides bulging outward, giving it an organic beauty that makes it look as if it were breathing. This commode was produced in Germany in the 1900s, and is a work of the historical style revival that was popular from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. Walnut wood is used luxuriously, with burl wood especially on the front and sides. The bulge is a rare wood grain obtained from the bulges of trees, and its intricately intertwined spiral patterns create a unique look. German cabinetmakers excel at combining precision woodworking and decorative arts, and this tradition lives on in this Commode. The front of the drawer is delicately engraved with a bouquet of flowers in an oval frame, a Rococo tribute to nature. The legs are elegant cabriole legs (legs that draw an S-shaped curve), and the solid shape with carved decoration provides strong support to the entire furniture. The black marble top plate has deep colors and natural patterns that add a sense of luxury to the space.
