DESCRIPTION

A rare and exceptional French Art Deco commode by Mercier Frères, with the original manufacturer’s plate preserved inside the top drawer. This sophisticated piece exemplifies the luxurious materials and masterful craftsmanship for which the firm is renowned.

The case is executed in richly figured palisander, featuring striking checkered marquetry that creates depth and rhythm across the façade. At the center, a celebrated Mercier Frères inlay motif is showcased in an oval cartouche, intricately composed of Macassar ebony, palisander, Brazilian rosewood, and ivory, forming a refined and highly decorative focal point.

The commode is crowned with its original marble top, adding both elegance and durability, while the drawers are fitted with original brass hardware that complements the warm tones of the wood. The piece stands on uniquely carved and fluted legs, lending sculptural grace and architectural presence.

An important and highly collectible example of French Art Deco furniture, this Mercier Frères commode seamlessly blends artistry, exotic materials, and timeless design.
