About the Item

A handsome and unusually small Louis XVI chest in mahogany offering four drawers with bowed front, and featuring a fluted tambour molding on the top drawer resting under characteristically 18th century dental molding. Scandinavia fell in love with the French court of Louis XVI & emulated the style during the reign of Swedish King Gustave. Denmark, which had strong trading ties with England, made a stylistic departure by combining the lighter, simpler aesthetic of English cabinetry with distinctly French characteristics. French-polish finish. Denmark, circa 1780. Works very well in a bedroom as a nightstand, or in an entrance as a console! Measures: 32” wide x 19 ½” deep x 32” high Note: You should always request a shipping quote. Quoted amounts are an estimate of what it might cost to ship out to you based on destinations of the greatest distance. We would love to find you a better quote if possible.
