<p>[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 825550, member: 121"]With the serpentine shape, marquetry, and ormolu mounts I would probably refer to this as a (French) commode. As to its actual age, I'm at sea. The original style was popular in the mid-late 1700s, and there was a resurgence of the style in the late 1800s, with "modern" repros mostly popular in the 1960s through today. An examination of the construction and interior details would be necessary to determine if it is original to a certain period or if it is a recent reproduction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
