About the Item

A rare and captivating pair of 1920s Swedish bombe chests of drawers, each featuring three gracefully curved drawers and Rosso Levanto marble tops. The chests of drawers boast voluptuous silhouettes and cabriole legs in the style of classic Rococo revival. What sets this pair apart is the bespoke embellishment by an independent contemporary artist, who has transformed each chest into a stunning piece of functional art. The entire surface is meticulously adorned with an intricate mosaic of natural seashells, creating a tactile, three-dimensional effect that evokes the essence of the sea. Each drawer front and side panel is carefully composed with a diverse array of shells—delicate pink scallops, pearlescent cowries, and tiny coral fragments—arranged into floral and symmetrical motifs. Size: H80 cm x W100 cm x D55 cm
