:
the architecturally designed front of the chest of drawers is divided into three zones.
a plinth connected to the floor forms the lower section, on which two sturdy columns rest, supporting the upper section, which houses a large drawer. Three further drawers are housed in the centre section of the chest of drawers, which recedes behind the columns.
a black granite top forms the upper end.
the drawers, the back panel and the body are made of oak, except for the panels in the side walls.
the top section with the ledge drawer is connected to the body with wooden wedges and can be removed for transport. This detail can be clearly seen in one of the photos.
exquisitely beautiful mahogany veneer, horizontally mirrored on the drawers at the height of the key entrances, enlivens the smooth surfaces on which the lavishly gilded bronzes unfold their effect.
some of the very finely crafted fittings can also be found on empire furniture by jacob, molitor or marcion, from whose workshops examples of almost identical chests of drawers with the same quality of workmanship and choice of materials are known. It is very likely that the chest of drawers was made in one of the large parisian workshops.
condition:
the chest of drawers is in a well-kept, ready-to-live-in condition with beautiful age patina. Three keys are present. less
