About the Item

An Indonesian polychrome dresser from Madura with carved drawers and verdigris highlights. We have another dresser available that is very similar and will make for a perfect pair. See item LU863919142832. Immerse yourself in the captivating artistry of this 19th-century Indonesian polychrome dresser from Madura, an island known for its rich cultural heritage off the northeastern coast of Java. This exquisite dresser, with its intricate carved floral motifs and striking green highlights, is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship and vibrant aesthetic of Madurese art. The dresser features a rectangular top with beveled edges, lending a refined touch to its robust structure. Below, three drawers - two smaller ones atop a larger one - showcase gilt carved flowers and foliage, their golden hues vividly contrasting against a green background. This combination of colors - gold, green, brown, and red accents - creates a dynamic and visually stunning palette. The dresser stands on short scrolling feet, each foot carved with mask motifs, adding a mystical and cultural element to the piece. These feet are connected by a skirt that is decorated on three sides, enhancing the dresser's overall ornate appearance. In a modern home, this Madurese dresser can serve as a magnificent focal point in a living room or bedroom. Its rich carvings and colorful polychromy make it an ideal choice for those who appreciate unique, statement furniture pieces. The dresser offers practical storage while adding a touch of 19th-century Indonesian elegance to your space. Accompanied by a similar chest (shown in image 4 and available separately), these dressers can create a harmonious and striking pair in any interior setting. Each chest, priced at $1,600, is not just a piece of furniture but a piece of art, embodying the beauty and history of Madurese craftsmanship.
