W.32-1977 A commode is a low chest of drawers or cupboard. It evolved in France in the late 17th century for the storage of clothes and linen. In grand houses it became a status symbol, a display of rich materials and virtuoso craftsmanship rather than a functional item. This magnificent commode probably stood in a library or drawing room under a large mirror. It is said to have belonged to George Grenville, prime minister to George III. [01/12/2012] (en)
