Louis XVIII Style Restoration French Chest Of Drawers

About the Item

Attention: the chest of drawers would need to be restored, we offer it at a very attractive price in the condition in which it is (see photos), if, at the time of purchase you prefer the cabinet to be restored, we will provide this at an additional cost of € 1200. We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Elegant and understated French walnut chest of drawers with three drawers; handles and locks with one original key for all are metal; drawers are three different sizes, the top one is wider than the others, the middle one is large and spacious, and the last one is as wide as the middle one but lower; on the front corners are placed four half-columns lacquered in black and decorated in gold at the ends, while two others decorate the end of the side parts of the cabinet; the legs are simple and square; the top and back are made of sturdy, solid wood slabs. The exceptional quality of European walnut was used for the entire construction of the chest of drawers: this is a type of wood that due to its rich coloring, dimensional stability, impact resistance, and sturdiness are widely used in high-end furniture, this type of wood, thanks to the many ever-changing natural grains, makes the chest of drawers elegant, refined and unique. The chest of drawers was made between 1850 and 1853 in a traditional craft workshop in the vicinity of Paris, most likely in the medieval village of Provins, because it was purchased by us along with other furniture at an antique market in the area. The style is a classic of the Restoration period; after the reign of Louis XVIII during which any reference to the Empire was abandoned and a gentler, more comfortable style was embraced, furniture was built on the basis of Empire-style furniture but lost its majesty and became lighter and more linear. The artisans who worked on this piece of furniture have managed to create an extraordinary, refined and compelling piece of furniture, which by virtue of its extreme elegance and soft romantic line, make it extremely versatile and easily placed in any environment. Measures width cm.130, depth cm.55, height cm.100. Condition to be restored (read what is said at the beginning of the description). For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.
