Early 19th Century Sideboard, Chiffoniere with special Central Locking System
About the Item
Semaniere with interesting locking technology
Belgium
Walnut, oak
early 19th century
Dimensions: H x W x D: 142 x 127 x 51 cm
Description:
Small antique cabinet with drawers behind the doors. Due to its shape and function, this piece of furniture is also known as a chiffoniere or semaniere. If the internal drawers are not to your liking, they can be removed to create an interior with shelves.
A piece of furniture standing on short pointed legs with an almost square front view. We see three drawers at the bottom, two doors above and a row of three drawers and a tableau pull-out at the top. To avoid interrupting the grain pattern, the doors are fitted with tongue and groove interlocking instead of a bevelled edge. This can be clearly seen in one of the photos.
The top of the piece of furniture is finished off with a loose marble top.
The cabinet's unusual locking and opening mechanism is unique. A key can be used to lock the doors, the tableau pull-out and the centre drawer at the top and bottom. This is made possible on the one hand by the lock, which simultaneously locks upwards and downwards, and on the other hand by a latch mounted on the inside of the right-hand door.
Pressing the top left-hand drawer opens the handleless panel pull-out, while pressing the right-hand drawer opens the handleless doors. An interesting, rare and well thought-out patent.
Also worth mentioning is the original key with an exact mating fit in the coat of arms-shaped key plate.
Condition: Restored and matt polished with shellac. The mechanics of the locking system work perfectly.

Large Empire chest of drawers
Paris
Mahogany
Early 19th century
Dimensions: H x W x D: 97 x 136 x 68 cm
Description:
The architecturally designed front of the chest of drawers is divided into three zones.
A plinth connected to the floor forms the lower section, on which two sturdy columns rest, supporting the upper section, which houses a large drawer. Three further drawers are housed in the centre section of the chest of drawers, which recedes behind the columns.
A black granite top forms the upper end.
The drawers, the back panel and the body are made of oak, except for the panels in the side walls.
The top section with the ledge drawer is connected to the body with wooden wedges and can be removed for transport. This detail can be clearly seen in one of the photos.
Exquisitely beautiful mahogany veneer, horizontally mirrored on the drawers at the height of the key entrances, enlivens the smooth surfaces on which the lavishly gilded bronzes unfold their effect.
Some of the very finely crafted fittings can also be found on Empire furniture by Jacob...
