Bickerton Commode

A bow-fronted commode in washed acacia, drawn from an 18th-century English chest in the painted Swedish genre, with bronze hardware that is the detail people comment on. The drawers are lined in polka dot, which is the kind of interior joke you only find once the piece is in the house. Measures 50 inches wide by 20 deep by 35 high. Bow-fronted means the face curves outward, so it reads softer than a flat chest. From the William Yeoward collection.
