A George III serpentine-fronted mahogany Commode, four full-width graduated drawers with cast swan-neck handles and flanked by blind fret canted corners, raised on ogee bracket feet, 96cm wide x 54.5cm (deepest) CONDITION REPORT: There is quite a large split down the front of the right hand side. There is some scratching to the surface of the wood and some of the polish has come away from the top of the chest. There is also a 1mm piece of veneer from the front of the serpentine on the moulding at the top. There is also a piece which has been replaced on the left hand return moulding. Lifting the chest up, the top has bowed and you can see a slight concave effect where it is coming away from the sides of the chest. The rear back leg left hand side has had strengthening screws and there is generally scuffing and scratches with age to the ogee feet. We think the handles are probably original. In our opinion this does need work.
