19th Century French, Louis XV-Louis XVI Transition Kingwood Marble Top Chest

About the Item

This classic French transition marble top chest with drawers features satinwood, kingwood, is inlaid with burl walnut, and sports detailed marquetry alongside bronze mounts and a marble top. The piece features a body classic to the Louis XVI style, and legs unique to the Louis XV style. The piece is part of the collection from The French Antique Shop, a fourth generation antique store in the heart of the French Quarter of New Orleans. A space that was created and curated at first by Marie and Marcelle and Granet. Their first shop was located in the heart of Paris, and opened in 1919 after they migrated to Paris from Romania post World War I. Shortly after establishing themselves in Paris, as a Jewish family they were forced to flee in the late 1930s before World War II. Marie and Marcel opened up their shop in New Orleans in 1939, the city in which this antique collection has grown and continues to flourish. The store is now run by the third and fourth generation, Marc, Michael, and Brian Friedlander, and is a highly curated space filled with rare antiquities, fine antique lighting, eclectic fixtures, and everything in between. We have imported all the antique items in our collection directly from France.
