Chest Of Drawers, Louis XV Period - Late 18th Century

Chest of drawers in solid Island wood, originating from the Nantes region, with a Sinuous facade. Its relatively Fine Wood top is designed with Miter Cut and Molded in Bec de Corbin Honed on its edges. This piece of furniture opens with three drawers arranged in three rows and with visible crosspieces. Of an identical depth of 15 cm, they are Richly Embellished with Important Handles and Entrances in Bronze, Rococo spirit, Original and Authentic. Each of these drawers is equipped with a lock in working order accompanied by its key, later than the rest of the chest of drawers. The lower and side rails are movement and underlined by the same uninterrupted moulding. The front uprights of this piece of furniture are quarter-round, fluted, and finished in crowbars. The rear legs are more modestly cut. The sides are composed of recessed panels with slightly worked edges. It should be noted that the interiors of the drawers are in Fir and entirely from the period. This Commode and its 250 years of History will astonish by this unusual mixture which makes them so special: the Sobriety of the lines specific to Port Furniture, associated with an Opulent Ornamentation more frequently present on Street Furniture.
