A charming 19th century French Directoire style petite chest handcrafted of mélèze (European larch) in the Alsace region of eastern France, circa 1850s. Rustic yet elegant, this provincial commode reflects the restrained neoclassical sensibilities of the Directoire period, adapted to Alsatian craftsmanship and scale.

 

The rectangular plank top  rests above a bank of three drawers — one long drawer over two short ones — each framed with simple molded panels and fitted with original brass shell-form bin pulls. The clean lines, squared legs, and understated form embody the provincial interpretation of Directoire style, while the compact proportions make it especially versatile.

 

Richly patinated over time, the warm golden-brown tones of the mélèze wood highlight its natural grain and centuries of use, imbuing the chest with authentic character. Both sturdy and practical, this petite commode from Alsace would serve beautifully as a bedside chest, an entry table, or accent storage in any refined yet relaxed interior.

Dimensions:

h - 25"

w - 32.25"

d - 17.5"

Great feel good suit
Size: Large, Color: Red With Goden
My husband looked so good in this. The color was popping. The size was true to fit and he’s very tall. Feels so soft and didn’t wrinkle at all. Very good material and fabric. Cheaper than I thought

Poor Quality
This suit was for my nephews school dance. The look is great however, its not of good quality. The material is cheap and looks as though it should be a costume. When my nephew tried it on it looked baggy. I returned the suit but have yet to receive a refund.

Awesome Suit!!
I purchased this suit for my boyfriend to wear to a party. I ordered an XL, he is 6'6" and 230lbs, initially the fit was fantastic and looks amazing but after wearing it and moving around in it for about 30 minutes, the pants started to slip down. The fabric has quite a bit of spandex in it and tends to stretch out after wearing for a little bit, it fits great right after it has been dried but then stretches out again. I ended up taking in the waist a little bit so the pants stay up, a large would likely have been a better fit. But he always looks amazing when he wears it and gets lots of compliments on the fun pattern. Definitely worth it!
