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 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.
