20th Century Cabinet Commode Marie Antoinette

About the Item

Serre-Bijoux cabinet of Marie Antoinette, 20th century. This splendid cabinet was made according to the Versailles "Serre bijoux". From 1770 the sleeping Chambers of Marie Antoinette were redesigned. In the course of this, she commissioned Germanist Jean Ferdinand Schwerdfeger (1734-1818) and Jean-Démosthène Dugourc (1749-1825) to produce the jewelry cabinet copied here. The original can still be admired today in the Grande Chambre of Versailles. The corpus, in the still typically two-part structure, rests on slightly tapered legs with closed struts. The box-shaped tower above it is divided by a three-door front with corresponding school lines. In addition, four caryatids deposited in gold emerge. The concluding, slightly protruding cornice, with a curved gallery, is crowned by a mythological character scene. The corpus is richly ornamented with crossbands, garlands and floral applications. Mythological representations can be found in medallions as well as cross-and high-rectangular filling fields.

Dental Cabinet, Early 20th Century
Located in Wrocław, Poland
This stunning Dental Cabinet was possibly manufactured in USA by Lee Smith & Sons in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Notable for its distinctive nickel hinges and trim, as well as the iconic swing-out drawers synonymous with Lee Smith & Sons, this piece stands as a testament to an era of unparalleled craftsmanship. The piece is made of solid wood (and is pretty heavy). Adorned with twelve meticulously nickel-plated swing-out drawers, complemented by two discreet blind doors below and two elegant glass doors above, further enhanced by an extendable top this cabinet exudes both functionality and elegance. The piece was gently restored, wooden elements were cleaned and finished with high quality wax, nickeled metal parts remain in beautiful original vintage condition. A very unique and rare treasure that will be an unusual element of any original interior such as loft, barber shop etc. Among traders called the Holy Grail of antique medical furniture...
