About the Item

Louis Seize style state chest of drawers, solid mahogany and veneered, with rich brass fittings (signed E. KAHN) and marble top, Paris circa 1900. This chest of drawers is a very large presentation furniture with a width of almost 1.80 meters. It is an authentic collector's item. This dresser is in full working restored condition. This wide dresser stands on tall turned legs and features rounded corner studs with fluting. The front is designed with two doors and three drawers above. The dresser top, made of 2.7 cm thick Cararra marble, protrudes and matches the body shape at the outer edges. Behind the two doors are 6 drawers that can be pulled out on drop rings. All three visible sides are lush with hardware and feature large medallions in the center. All three medallions are framed by a round egg bar ornamental molding. The corner studs show fluting inlaid with brass. All locks are stamped "Paris". Some of the bronzes have the casting stamps "E. Kahn" on the back. The body of the chest of drawers can be disassembled by threaded screws was designed so that the body can be completely disassembled. The chest of drawers is delivered assembled. The dresser has been gently restored preserving the patina and slight signs of use, is fully functional and equipped with four keys. Photos of the unrestored condition are available. The Paris based company "E. Kahn & Cie" specialized in high quality reproduction of 18th century furniture. They copied furniture from the French ebenists such as Riesener, Oeben, Weisweiler, Stöckl, Cressent and Benneman, which were reproduced 1:1 or partly slightly modified, with high quality. The model for this chest of drawers was a pair of royal chests of drawers designed by J. STÖCKL (Joseph Stöckel, master 1775) and completed by G. BENNEMAN (Guillaume Bennemann, master 1785). In 1786 the pair of chests of drawers was delivered to Marie Antoinette's gambling salon (Salon des Jeux) at Fontainebleau castle. Currently it is in the collection of the Louvre in Paris (Commode 1, Commode 2). The commode type in the form of a sideboard with additional drawers behind the doors is also called commode à vantaux. Especially this commode is also called Marie Antoinette commode.

  • German Baroque Secretary with Mirror and Silver Plated Fittings from 1730/35
    Located in Heiligenberg, DE
    Two-piece baroque secretary with mirrored doors, exceptional original silvered fittings with numerous princely crowns, walnut saw veneer on softwood, Thuringia circa 1730/35. This secretary comes from princely property, was made in very high craftsmanship and is in an impeccably restored condition. In addition to the mirrored glass, the elaborate front of the top is adorned with three pilasters, the shaft of which is framed by double fillet bands and features a walnut field in the center. The profiled bases are cast in silver-plated brass. The three capitals are elaborate silvered castings with leaves and volutes. Under the doors, two delicate shelves with walnut fronts can be pulled out on fine silver-plated knobs. The knobs are the same model as the small drawers in the single-door. Pulling out the shelves reveals a framed area of oak. The framing is multi-profiled, very finely worked and mitered. The trays were probably intended for candlesticks. The light from the candles is clearly enhanced by the mirrors. At that time, this effect was also used for wall blinds. The carcass sides of the entire piece of furniture are identical in design. The base shows mirrored fields with a cross-veneered framing. In the case of the top, the field is mirrored four times in the form of a cross joint and is also bordered by a cross-veneered framing. On both sides of the base and the top are strong, silver-plated handles, with a splendidly designed base plate of chased, silver-plated brass sheet. Here again we encounter the princely crown. On the original back panel is a handwritten note in chalk: "Salon der Durchl. Fürstin von der Lippe...
