About the Item

Very elegant center dressing table, curved on all sides in rosewood veneer. The top opens with a central shutter provided on the back of its mercury mirror and flanked by two shutters. They unmask two removable lockers also in rosewood veneer. The belt opens with four drawers, one of which is narrower, they are centered by a sliding writing tablet. She poses on four high, pinched and arched feet. A beautiful openwork and foliage fall in chiseled and gilded bronze terminated by a small sheathing shoe, accentuates the slight curve of the front and rear feet. Fine ornamentation of chiseled and gilded bronzes such as offcuts, clogs, keyholes, as well as fine original brass hinges discreetly adorn this piece representative of small pieces of furniture born under the reign of Louis XV. Period: Louis XV - Middle XVIIIth Stamp: D GENTY received, master in 1754 Measures (closed): H: 75 x W: 97 x D: 50cm This elegant piece has been completely restored, in accordance with the rules of the art, by the TWS workshops (Wimereux). During the Louis XV period, the new layout of the apartments brought comfort and privacy. The furniture corresponds in its forms as in its decoration to the evolution of the mores of French society. Comfort and pleasure are at the origin of the small furniture and the triumph of the curved line. The “flying” pieces of furniture, creations that adapt to this new way of life, are particularly light, elegant, and not very heavy with bronzes. They are intended to be moved, from a bedroom to the living room, or to the boudoir. Among these, we mainly find the writing table, the reading table, a Burgundy table, the standing writing table, the delivery table, night table, snacks, coffee, work , the chiffonier, or the game table. Box dressing tables are one of the most popular creations of these delicate little pieces of furniture from the reign of Louis XV. In our time, these are sought after, according to the number of combinations, their craftsmanship, and the notoriety of the cabinetmaker.
