Antique commode cabinet. Oiled walnut with marble top. The original finish was varnish, which my mom stripped immediately after she acquired the cabinet sometime in the early to mid 1960s. She refinished it with boiled linseed oil (applied hot).
The original owner had this cabinet in a tight space where it wouldn't quite fit with the marble top in place so she removed the backsplash and had someone cut a notch out of the left end of the marble top so it would fit in the space where she'd decided it needed to go. Unfortunately, by the time this lady sold the cabinet to my mom, she'd lost the marble backsplash pieces, so we never had those. In the downward looking photo you can see the two screw holes where the backsplash was originally attached to the top. You can see the cut out notch in the fifth photo.
For the most part, the wood is in excellent condition. There are a couple of issues though. There is a piece of wood broken out of the top edge of the front of the cabinet where the plate that the lock bolt meshed with when the drawer was locked. Also, the medallion around the key hole in the top drawer got knocked off somewhere along the way. Both of these issues are plainly visible in the photos.
Mom used this cabinet to store art and sewing supplies for many, many years and it served her well for that purpose. Now that mom is gone, it's time to find this cabinet a new home.
