About the Item

Bright Louis XVI chest of drawers with geometric marquetry Brunswick Ash Classicism around 1790 Dimensions: H x W x D: 79 x 107 x 54 cm Description: Beautiful small chest of drawers with light base wood and dark contrasting inlays. The commode stands on block feet at the back and tapered cone feet at the front. The feet in front are in continuation with the half columns located on the pilasters. The three drawers have a central risalit, marked with wide, cranked strips of ebony. The dark wood contrasts nicely with the light, calm-grained ash. On the sides, the dresser is simply fielded with the same choice of wood. The top panel slightly overhangs and follows the shape of the drawer fronts on the front. A visual highlight of the piece of furniture is the beautifully arranged veneers of the top, which are laid in absolutely calm symmetry. The chest of drawers is an excellent example of German furniture art of the late 18th century. The calm and coherent overall impression of the chest of drawers was achieved by clear arrangement and perfect symmetry. Absolutely typical of the so-called Zopfstil. Proportion, design and choice of wood of the piece of furniture strongly suggest an origin from Brunswick. Condition: Very good restored condition. The wood is fueled by a shellac polish, light-dark nuances in the wood are emphasized, the wood has a nice depth. Similar pieces of furniture can be found in the reference book: Wolfgang Eller - Möbel des Klassizismus p. 123.
