Condition Report
The commode has significant age (early 19th century) but the paint and Chinoiserie decoration are later, from the second half of the 20th century. Fine and sturdy, usable condition overall, with some age cracks in the paint and scuffs, chips, areas of loss to the decoration as is typical, but minor and even throughout.
