A late 19th-century walnut commode or bedside cabinet of compact rectangular form, featuring a molded and recessed-panel lift top that opens to reveal an interior platform fitted with a circular removable cover for accommodating a chamber vessel. The case is constructed with paneled sides and a broad recessed front panel fitted with a dark metal bail pull, while the lower apron is shaped with a gently scalloped profile and the cabinet rests on short straight legs. The warm walnut surface shows attractive grain variation and an aged patina, with scattered scuffs, scratches, finish rubbing, small nicks, edge wear, and minor separation or irregularity around the hinged top and interior framing consistent with age and use; the chamber vessel is not present. Measures 17.5"H x 22"W x 17.5"D.
