About the Item

Chest of drawers from France in the Louis XVI style. This piece is made of solid wood construction, primarily mahogany. The demilune shape adds a unique quality. This piece has been finished with an ebonized lustrous French polish of museum quality. There are three central dovetailed drawers, each with two brass pulls. The two curved sides have doors that open outwards to interior storage area. They have working locks and keys. The chest is topped with a gray marble featuring some lovely white veining. This piece is in very nice 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.
