About the Item

One of a kind and wonderful 18th-century Louis XV transitional style chest with a curved design and delicate marquetry motifs. It features two front registers, each displaying finely crafted precious wood marquetry that adds a touch of luminosity to the piece. The handles and keyholes are in gilt bronze and ormolu, with rich, sinuous rocaille and scrollwork movements. The side panels are expressed with a refined intarsia geometry. It is made of rosewood with lemon wood ornamentation and topped with a striated gray breccia marble with white veining. The entire chest is enriched with gilt bronze fittings and sablots that embellish the legs, handles, and keyholes. The soul of this piece is made of traditional 18th-century spruce and retains its original period locks. A museum piece of extraordinary quality and artistic and historical value.

Italian Art Deco Blue Crystal Italian Commode, Chest of Drawers
By Vintage Italian Glass
Located in Valladolid, ES
Outstanding chest of drawers made by hand with Italian blue glass plates. Exclusive geometric design, based on triangular shapes and their tangents, which seem to form the silhouette of a diamond on the front. Each chest of drawers is made up of two large-capacity registers with asymmetric handles. The lower handle is an equilateral triangle, element or central point of the entire projected ornament. These tangential lines arranged on the front and on the top of the furniture are created with a mirror. The edges of the furniture are metallic, silver in colour, as are the openwork legs and the previously mentioned mirrors. The result is a highly refined pairing of colours -blue and silver-. This type of furniture recalls the Art Deco designs of the first quarter of the 20th century. Handwork by international artist...
