About the Item

This Italian Early Empire Trumeau is a true masterpiece of elegance and mystery, masterfully crafted from burl feather wood, known for its fascinating grain that evokes the nobility and luxury of times past. The surface of this extraordinary piece of furniture shines with an intense luster that only briarwood can offer, reflecting light and catching the eye of anyone who enters the room. The real magic of this Trumeau is revealed when you explore its many secrets. Lifting up the roll-top door reveals small hidden drawers, perfect for storing jewelry, keepsakes and small personal treasures, each enclosed in its own safe and private space. Underneath, two elegant brass knobs recall a larger drawer, ideal for documents and everyday items. But the Trumeau hides an additional secret: a central roll-top door that, when opened, reveals the full splendor of the cabinet. This striking element transforms the Trumeau into an enchanting treasure chest of secrets and beauty, an invitation to discover and rediscover the wonders hidden within. The finest detail is the pull-out drop-down desk, equipped with a green leather top that contrasts beautifully with the burl wood, providing a comfortable workspace enhanced by finely crafted brass inserts and ornaments that add an extra touch of elegance. Additional drawers complete the cabinet design, useful for organizing and storing larger objects, while the round feet create a harmonious interplay with the entire structure, supporting the cabinet with grace and stability. This Trumeau is not just a piece of furniture, but a gateway to a world of historic elegance, an invitation to experience everyday beauty surrounded by functional and extraordinarily beautiful works of art.

Rare 18th-century wooden cabinet in the style of Louis XV, fine French manufacture. The cabinet is made entirely of fine dark wood, four legs for support.
