Condition Note:  The commode is in good antique condition commensurate with its age of over 120 years. The satinwood veneer is sound and intact throughout with the rich golden patina one expects from a piece of this age. The hand-painted decoration is intact across all surfaces - the figural panels, floral swags and ornamental motifs are all clearly defined with no significant losses or overpainting of note. The cabinet doors open and close correctly. The six tapered legs are sound and stable. There is minor age-related wear consistent with over a century of use - honest and appropriate patination that adds character.
