A Queen Anne Commode w/ Cabriole Legs, Maple, with Chestnut Secondary, First Surface, probably Rhode Island, c.1740-1760
Found locally in Rhode Island, It is rare to find a complete potty stool of this period in original first surface. The secondary chestnut is secured to the case with original rosehead nails. While this stool served a utilitarian function, its form with shaped apron and feet give this compact form a strong pleasing visual image, and, in its own right, a notable form.
