Hi Laura,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The term "bombé" (pronounced bom-bay) is used to describe furniture that has a bulging shape, as seen here. (there is also the Bombay Furniture Company that made such furniture but I don't see their label in any of these photos - if that's there, please take/attach a photo as that will affect the value of this piece).

Most 20th Century diminutive commodes of this size and with similar decoration have sold recently at auction for between $700 and $900.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

A vintage diminutive Louis XV style Chinoiserie decorated and ormolu mounted marble top mahogany bombé commode
