About the Item

Chest of drawers from the Louis XVI period in France. This piece is made of solid wood construction, primarily mahogany. The chest has been finished with a French polish of museum quality with a high shine luster. There are five dovetailed drawers all featuring brass trim and brass pulls. The chest is topped with a Carrara marble top slab. It is in very nice antique condition with only minor surface wear consistent with age and use. The photos accurately depict the condition. Louis XVI Style refers to the style defined by the period in France under the reign of King Louis XVI (1760-1789) — the last French monarch before the Revolution. Inspired by the discoveries of Pompeii and Herculaneum, this era saw a revival of Greek and Roman styles. There was a sharp movement away from the Rococo style, as curved lines and heavy ornamentation became unfashionable, giving way to clean, straight lines. Restrained, geometrical forms were preferred and stylized references to classical Greek architecture were recaptured. Furniture and interiors were refined, sophisticated, calm and symmetrical.
