A kingwood tulipwood and parquetry commode, stamped B Peridiez Louis XV, mid 18th century

veneer distressed

Marble top has some very minor chips and restored breaks and other restorations which are hardly noticeable, due to the mottling of the marble. The mounts have been regilt. The veneer on the left side is faded and distressed and the veneer has patches generally. There is a vertical construction crack and a horizontal one down both sides, which will need attention. There are some minor pieces of veneer missing which can easily be restored, some of which are in the drawers and some areas of restoration and patches between the handle mounts. In need of some sympathetic restoration.
