A highly unusual concave-fronted chest of drawers surmounted by a ziggurat or stepped top. Seemingly conceived as pure architecture, the pilasters articulated at the side of the piece create a smooth turned edge beneath the chest’s canted corners, providing a pleasing transition from the chest’s front-curved face. Figured Olive Wood and ebonized trim on the chest’s graduated three-drawer face enhance this chest’s design. Modern in appearance, this chest draws from German neoclassical tastes of the 19th Century.
Simplicity of form allows this piece versatility while the rich and warm
figured Walnut tones bring elegance. Hand Rubbed French Polish brings fire to the rich natural wood patterns. Straight tapered legs support five drawers, each accented by contrasted fillet, fraising and inlaid shield escutcheons centered by keyholes. Perfectly suitable as a lady's bureau, a small desk next to the Master Bed, or set as a focal point in a passageway.
