A George III satinwood and marquetry demi-lune commode in the manner of Ince & Mayhew, the top inlaid with a sand-shaded half fan tied ribbons and swags of Hare bells within a rosewood crossbanded border with further harebells, fitted three shaped doors with tied laurel wreath and triumphal urn inlay on a quartered ground, supported by inlaid tapering square supports, 126 cm wide x 56 cm deep x 88 cm overall height.

Condition Report

The commode has had some later sub-divisions to the interior, the top has had a dark watermark (pan ring) removed locally that has caused the outline to have sunken slightly.,

Update, the feet look to have been cut off at some point, you can see where the saw has stalled in its kerf on one foot perhaps the commode had small block feet, the detail continues from the pilasters to the feet suggesting that the legs are correct but cut down

The shelves are later additions with signs of Vandyk crystals staining to the shelves and shelf supports, maybe this carcass interior was not partitioned for shelves or perhaps one long shelf.

The top of the commode has had a dark cup ring taken out but this has left a slightly depressed ring to the surface. the top is free from cracks or splits.

The two end cupboards are free from splits but do have some slightly lifting sections of marquetry, the central door shows some transmission of the boarded ground in the form of a subtle undulation to the surface, but it remains intact without splits.

The commode has had some restoration over the years using outdated processes and has also had something done to the interior, possibly to make three compartments from a large single space with a single shelf but is basically period.
