About the Item

An attractive little Louis XVI style “sauteuse” chest of drawers, in veneered wood, with inlaid marquetry decoration and a 'Breche d'Alep' marble top. This 'transitional' style commode features two deep and wide drawers, with intricately inlaid frames on each drawer front. The centre-front projection features a delicate and detailed inlay, which reproduces a musical scene comprising a lute, score and floral flourishes.  Breche d'Alep marble is a particularly rare and attractive form of marble, which was extracted from quarries in the Bouches-du-Rhône area of southern France in the 18th century. Pressures and distortions in the rock in this area at the time of its geological formation resulted in this unusual yellow-tinted stone, which was intermingled with large rounded fragments of browns, greys, reds or black. It was very popular at the time, and is still found in many fine French residences, including in the Château de Chantilly.
