Vintage French Marquetry Bombe Commode Chest Dresser with Green Marble Top & Gilt Brass

This exquisite bombe chest is more than a storage piece—it’s a conversation starter, a room anchor, and a work of art. Whether gracing a hallway, elevating a primary bedroom, or stealing the spotlight in an entryway, its sculptural form and rich details instantly elevate any space.

Its provenance adds to its romance: this commode was purchased decades ago by a retired military family while stationed in France, then brought home as a treasured heirloom. Crafted with meticulous marquetry inlay, the chest features diamond-patterned veneers and ornate brass mounts, which glisten against the warm wood like jewelry.

The genuine green marble top adds both weight and richness, while the bombe silhouette—curved in all the right places—hints at 18th-century French court style with timeless flair. Each drawer glides smoothly and offers generous storage.

Like many fine antiques, it shows a few signs of age. There is some minor veneer wear to the legs and inside the drawers—nothing that detracts from its beauty or function, and well within what’s expected (and even beloved) by true antique enthusiasts. These subtle imperfections tell a story of decades of gentle use and add to its authentic charm.
