About the Item

Beautiful three-drawer chest of drawers in rosewood and amaranth veneer, topped with Brocatelle marble. The first of these drawers, in the upper section, features a raised front, inlaid with rosewood and richly decorated with a large bronze frieze. The second and third drawers feature marquetry, surrounded by a rosewood composition, forming diagonally arranged squares surrounded by amaranth. The crosspiece is hidden, allowing for continuity of the motifs between the two fronts. Each drawer is fitted with two scalloped ring pull handles, original chiseled mascarons, bronze urn-shaped handles, and original working locks. A lower, swooping crosspiece features a beautiful bronze composition with an urn, flame, foliage, and scroll. The canted uprights are highlighted by a bronze drop with a lion's face at the top. Below, rosewood marquetry joins a lion's paw decoration on the bossed foot. The purple brocatelle marble is also formed with projections and follows the lines of the piece. It has a groove around its perimeter. The sides of this chest of drawers are concave and similarly crafted, featuring identical geometric motifs. This chest of drawers is particularly interesting for its lines, its size, the beauty of its marquetry, and its substantial bronze work. ******** Period: Late 19th century Excellent condition after restoration in our workshop.
