The rectangular commode has a finely shaped front with concave and convex doors in contrasting woods and inlaid with a spray of flowers to each side door and a vase of flowers to the centre door. The top is decorated with a central vase with a draped swag suspended on patarae. The commode standing on cabriole legs.

The form of this commode owes a great debt to the style prevalent in France at the time. However, unlike the commodes of the similar shape attributed to Fuhrlohg or the commodes from Stanmer Park and Ham House, this commode has not been embellished with ormolu mounts. Consequently it has a far more English feel.
