About the Item

A pair of French Louis XV style "Semainier" tall chest commodes with a Brêche d'Alep marble top. The slender walnut and tulipwood body, each fitted with seven drawers with gilt bronze mounted key escutcheons and sabots with allegorical corner gilt bronze mounts, Paris, circa 1900. A Semainier is a chest of drawers, usually tall and thin, originally intended for storing a week's supply of clothing, undergarments and or lingerie. Originating in 18th century France, semainier has come to mean any seven-drawer chest these days but the term is sometimes erroneously applied to tall thin lingerie chests with only six drawers. In Britain it is referred as a Chiffonier. Measures: Height 52 inches (132.1 cm) Width 14 1/4 inches (36. 2 cm) Depth 11 inches (28 cm).
