Small Shaped Quebec Commode
You will rarely see another like it in a lifetime. Built in the 18th century in a simple interpretation of the Louis XIV style, its never-stripped surface shows a rare oak-grained overpaint, probably applied in the early 20th century over the original surface.

Minor restorations to a few drawer slips; replaced pulls, as on the vast majority of Quebec commodes of the period. A photo taken at its discovery is available on request.
