French Early 19th Century Empire St. Walnut, Ormolu and Marble Chests

About the Item

A handsome and most impressive pair of French early 19th century Empire st. walnut, ormolu, and Bleu Turquin marble chests. Each three-drawer chest is raised by elegant square tapered legs below striking architectural columns with richly chased ormolu caryatids flanking the two central drawers. The central drawers are sans traverse (without crossbar) showcasing the cabinet makers' high level of skill. Each drawer displays a fine ormolu fillet and family crest-shaped ormolu keyhole escutcheons. The top drawers showcase the beautiful warm walnut grain and display similar keyhole escutcheon. Flanking the top drawers are handsome and finely detailed lion's head pulls with rings in their mouths. Above are the original rectangular Bleu Turquin marble tops.
