This is a lovingly made copy of a Victorian-style commode constructed with care by a dear friend many years back

 This is a beautiful Victorian-style oak, three-drawer, door with towel rack commode or washstand that only dates from 35 years ago. This particular commode was made by a dear, dear friend of mine back in the late 1970s or early ‘80s, who had a vision that he wanted to make a whole line of oak furniture, and he came up with this commode, a half commode, a Larkin desk and a lamp table. I went out of my way to sell hundreds of them for him because he did such nice quality work. He copied the exact likeness, with the shapely scalloped top, scalloped towel rack, beautiful drawer configuration, and the only difference is that the drawers are stapled instead of dovetailed. This has held up great, because this particular piece was in my daughter’s bedroom for years, and she’s all grown up now. The finish is a dark oak stain, all original, and it shows a few nicks and a water ring on top, but it is in overall great condition. The overall size is 29 inches wide, 16 inches deep, 46 inches to the top of the towel rack and 29 inches high to the door. It is built just like the original, and has the drawers and the rack to put in linens and towels, and on the door is enough room to put in the slop jar that was always in the bedroom. Of course, a bowl and pitcher always are placed on the top. This is a really nice piece, and you won’t be able to find another one, because my friend passed away eight years ago. This is the last one. It will cost only $165 to have this piece shipped to your home, within our normal delivery area. 

PURCHASE PRICE: $365
