Chest Of Drawers Inlaid With Violet Wood, Regency Period

Superb chest of drawers slightly domed on the front, it opens with four drawers in three rows, the top surrounded by an ingot mold is inlaid with four kingwood sheets in geometric rosewood frames, The sides have the same decoration as the top, the finely cut low crosspieces, the front uprights adorned with three wide brass grooves and the rear uprights with a curved projection. The frame is entirely in solid walnut, the very thick kingwood sheets (no visible bore) are used in a perfectly symmetrical way, a sign of a cabinetmaker from the Province who mastered his trade well. Ornamentation of bronze gilded with mercury of origin, the four locks also of origin. Interesting work from Franche Comté, Regency period. Simple conservation restorations carried out by an experienced cabinetmaker, buffer varnish.
