JP Ehalt is a well renowned and reputable luxury furniture producer in the northeastern region of France. The Ehalt fine furniture company was founded in 1924 in Strasbourg, France, located on the German border, by Charles Ehalt, a fine carver and cabinetmaker specializing in traditional designs of Alsace and Lorraine. In 1948 his son Jean-Pierre Ehalt stepped in to manage the business and developed wonderful designs in antique reproduction furniture specializing in ranges of styles such as Regency with the "Liverpool", "Glasgow" series, the Chippendale, Queen Anne or Georgian with the "London" series, the regal and stately Neoclassical Louis XVI series including the spectacular "Elysée" extending dining room table that we currently have available. And the 18th century Louis XV series, with graceful, simple, clean lines, refined rustic character, country elegance and sophisticated Rocaille elements, all tailor made, while retaining the reputation of excellent, top-notch craftsmanship that is second to none. This large chest is a fine example of Jean-Pierre's work. An unusual, rare and outstanding masterpiece. Magnificent presence, sure to makes a statement in a hallway, dining room, bedroom or entry! Dimensions (approx): 32.5" High, 41.25" Wide, 20" Deep.
