commode

Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg

Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg
Nuremberg, Germany

The striking wave-front gives the commode a very individual appearance. Notable is that on the front there are neither handles for opening drawers nor locks for locking them. Instead, it can be closed with a central locking mechanism located hidden on the right side, and to pull out the individual drawers one grips the slightly overhanging edges on both sides. The strongly profiled front is a typical feature of such items made by cabinet-makers in Nuremberg.
