Voici la traduction en anglais de votre description, adaptée pour une annonce professionnelle :

Superb period or Louis XV style chest of drawers, displaying all the characteristics of the elegance and decorative richness of the 18th century. It is the perfect illustration of the French Rococo (or Rocaille) style.

• Shape and Structure: A serpentine-front (or "bombé" / "galbée") chest of drawers with sinuous sides, known as a "tombeau" type, resting on sculpted cabriole legs ending in volutes. The fluidity of the lines and the absence of right angles are emblematic of this period.

• Material: Made of solid wood, with a beautiful natural patina. The wood is richly carved with rocaille motifs and shells on the stiles and the lower rail, harmoniously framing the drawers. These motifs are the quintessence of Rococo ornamentation.

• Openings: It opens with three large drawers in three rows. (A visible imperfection/damage is present on the bottom drawer, as seen in the photo.)

• Ornamentation: It is adorned with magnificent chased and gilded bronze fittings: pull handles and key escutcheons (requiring restoration/regilding) with highly elaborate Rocaille decor, typical of the Louis XV period and the Rococo movement.

• Width: 135 cm

• Height: 99 cm

• Depth: 65 cm

• Period / Style: Louis XV (mid-18th century) and Rococo / Rocaille movement.

• Materials: Sculpted solid wood, Chased and gilded bronzes.
