19th Century Madurese Polychrome Three-Drawer Dresser with Carved Floral Motifs

About the Item

An Indonesian polychrome dresser from Madura with carved drawers and verdigris highlights. Emanating a breathtaking fusion of vivid colors and exquisite craftsmanship, this 19th century Indonesian polychrome dresser from Madura is the quintessence of ornate island artistry. With its meticulously carved floral motifs accented by a striking green color, this dresser becomes more than a piece of furniture; it's an enchanting tale from the northeastern coast of Java. The dresser's rectangular top, adorned with beveled edges, provides a regal platform for the magnificent art below. The facade boasts three drawers – two gracefully proportioned ones topped by a larger, commanding one. Each drawer is intricately adorned with gilded floral carvings that flourish against the green background. The brilliant interplay of gold, green, brown, and red creates an artistic tableau reminiscent of the lush Indonesian landscapes. Adding to the dresser’s charm, the piece is elevated on elegant, short scrolling feet that are adorned with meticulously carved masks. These feet are connected by an apron that is equally decorated on three sides, framing the dresser with ornamental exuberance. At $1,600 per dresser, these extraordinary Madurese pieces are poised to become the centerpieces of any living room or bedroom, infusing them with a rich tapestry of culture and master craftsmanship.
