Dresser, Chest of Drawers, Mirror, stamped Jean-Joseph Chapuis, Brussels c. 1810

About the Item

Antique dressing table - stamped Chapuis Brussels Mahogany Empire around 1810 Dimensions: H x W x D: 178 x 91 x 56 cm, height without mirror: 82 cm Description: Elaborately crafted early 19th century dressing table from the workshop of Jean-Joseph Chapuis (1765-1864) in Brussels. Chest of drawers with eight drawers in four rows, standing on bun feet. The upper wide drawer is divided into three compartments on the inside, which are protected from dust by sliding covers. The outer compartment covers have the appearance of a roller shutter thanks to the alternating strips of mahogany and ebony. Fire-gilt lion heads serve as handles for the drawers and, like the flanking caryatids, contrast beautifully with the dark wood. Below the two upper lion heads, two further golden knobs catch the eye - handles for a pull-out tray for storing make-up utensils. On the top plate, we see two solid brass rails that serve as guides for the mirror. The mirror is adjustable in depth as well as tilt. A special feature for which Jean-Joseph Chapuis was famous. The master's stamp can be found on the front edges of the drawers. It is worth mentioning a few beautiful details that are not immediately obvious: If we look at the edge of the top, we can see that the mahogany wood is discreetly emphasised by dark ebony edging that ends in curves. The thread inlay in the frame of the mirror has a similar effect. Condition: Refurbished condition, shellac hand polish. The drawers run smoothly, the locks work. Suitable for everyday use and ready for immediate use.
