About the Item

Petite chest of drawers from France in the Louis XVI style. This neoclassical cabinet is made of solid walnut construction, primarily mahogany. The charming cabinet has been finished with a lustrous French polish of museum-quality. There are four dovetailed drawers, each adorned with gilt brass trim and brass knobs. This piece is supported by sleek, tapered legs. It is in excellent antique condition – the photos accurately depict the condition. Louis XVI Style refers to the style defined by the period in France under the reign of King Louis XVI (1760-1789) — the last French monarch before the Revolution. Inspired by the discoveries of Pompeii and Herculaneum, this era saw a revival of Greek and Roman styles. There was a sharp movement away from the Rococo style, as curved lines and heavy ornamentation became unfashionable, giving way to clean, straight lines. Restrained, geometrical forms were preferred and stylized references to classical Greek architecture were recaptured. Furniture and interiors were refined, sophisticated, calm and symmetrical.
