.A magnificent rare commode from the limited production Merbau collection designed by the esteemed John Hutton (1947-2006) for Donghia, circa 1995.

Stout heavy mahogany construction veneered in Rush style rattan. Mahogany case accents finished in a rich espresso lacquer. Design, material selection and craftsmanship that is beyond incredible – built like a battleship. A breathtaking piece designed to highlight an important space. Excellent restored condition. The chest has been professionally cleaned; the rattan has aged to absolute perfection. All mahogany accents has been professionally re-lacquered and display a radiant luster. All veneer is intact and complete. Retains the maker mark; DONGHIA is burned into the case bottom.
