Antique Louis XVI chest of drawers with marquetry and marble top France (Dauphine) Walnut and others Late 18th century Dimensions: H x W x D: 89 x 114 x 59 cm Description: A three-tiered piece of furniture with rounded pilaster strips and black inlaid fluting, standing on tapered square legs. The drawer fronts are each divided into three panels using an elaborate marquetry technique. The centre panels feature bronze key plates in typical Louis XVI style. These are framed by green-coloured bands and fillets of light and dark contrasting woods. The outer panels are used to hold the dominant handles, which also correspond to the characteristic design language of the late 18th century with bows and hangings. They are mounted on panels of diagonally set walnut and framed by alternating green and red coloured woods. The sides of the piece of furniture echo the design of the front panels. A heavy, light rose-coloured marble top with fine veining forms the upper end. Worth knowing: The wood colouring techniques used on this chest of drawers are particularly noteworthy. Enclosed you will find a photo of the piece of furniture in its unrestored found condition with clear bleaching of the wood. As can be seen, no red or green colouring was visible at this time. In the course of the restoration, the colouring was not supplemented, but the original colouring was revealed again by removing the old varnish and carefully cleaning the surfaces with fine, alcohol-soaked steel wool. This restorability of the colours shows that the wood was not only stained on the surface, but was completely dyed through. Both the design of the piece of furniture with the striking black fluting and the technique of intensive wood colouring are associated with the work of the Hache family of ebenists from Grenoble. A central element of their work was the systematic research into wood colours and staining techniques. Thomas Hache was already experimenting with local Alpine woods...
