Rare 19th Century Portuguese Padauk Wood Commode with Gilt Bronze Hardware

This rare mid-19th century Portuguese commode is crafted from richly grained padauk wood, known for its deep, reddish hue and durability. The elegant case features five spacious drawers, each adorned with ornate gilt bronze handles, and is supported by gracefully scrolled feet that reflect the refined craftsmanship of circa 1850 Portugal.

The commode remains structurally sound and visually striking despite recent water damage to the front right foot and base molding on the front and side, as shown in the detailed photos. A rare find, this antique commode offers both historical character and functional storage, making it an ideal piece for collectors or designers seeking authentic 19th century Portuguese furniture with timeless appeal.
