The serpentine commode is a classic of chest of drawers or cabinet with  a curved or wavy facade resembling the shape of a serpent or snake. This style was popular in furniture design during the 18th century and is often seen in French Rococo or Louis XV and other antique furniture in France. The serpentine shape adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room and can be a beautiful focal point in traditional or vintage-inspired decor. The gentle lines of the serpentine facade are an inviting contrast to the more traditional linear shape more commonly seen and is more likely to be seen in French countryside furniture. This facade creates a pleasing shadow highlighting the gentle serpentine curves.
