About the Item

Chest of drawers in the Louis XVI style from France. This piece is made of solid wood construction, primarily mahogany. It has been ebonized and finished with a lustrous museum-quality French polish with gilt brass trim throughout. Three dovetailed drawers are all adorned with finely cast gilt bronze pulls and the chest is supported by four fluted and tapered legs. The dovetailed drawers have their original working locks and keys. The chest has an intact and original Carrara marble slab top. This piece is in excellent antique condition with only minor surface wear consistent with age and use. 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.
