Amboyna and Sycamore Pyramid Chest of Drawers. 21st Century

About the Item

Amboyna Pyramid Chest of Drawers Art Deco design has its origins in the Pharaonic period of ancient Egypt. The mystery and exotic allure of this iconic period were our inspiration for this very special piece. An extraordinary, one-off pyramid-shaped chest of drawers from the Boucher & Co Collection. Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail by the master artisans in the workrooms of Boucher & Co, Toowoomba, Australia. Created from very special Amboyna and figured French Sycamore, with custom-made nickel-plated capstone and feet. The French Sycamore upper area meets with the Amboyna lower section in a precisely hand cut waved joint. The five drawers are made with solid Queensland Silver Ash sides. Their Amboyna veneered Queensland Mahogany drawer fronts are locked together with precision, very fine hand-cut dovetails. Each drawer is fitted with fine Italian cream leather. Five individual bespoke drawer handles are each hand made from Nickel Silver plated brass in a truncated pyramid shape, each decreasing in size from the bottom drawer up to the top drawer. Bespoke feet, again in a truncated pyramid design, were hand made from Nickel Silver plated brass. Signed and engraved with the registered number. And there is a very secret compartment with its own small leather lined drawer waiting to be discovered. A comprehensive video of how to access the secret compartment will be supplied to the buyer. “There’s something deep inside my psyche that is fascinated with secret compartments. Perhaps it has to do with my childhood on the farm. It was a time of constant discovery. Being free to roam over hundreds of acres of rugged bushland, I was forever discovering the secret places where the small birds, animals and insects of the bush hid from prying eyes. Discovering them took many hours and sometimes days of patience and skill. Just like discovering where we have placed secret compartments within our pieces. This box has been made with great skill and passion. And it is very difficult to discover it’s secrets. I know this unique treasure will become a well-loved family heirloom. Please enjoy it, and all the joy and intrigue it will bring you”…David Boucher
