Regency Chest Of Drawers With Crosspieces And Diamond Tips. Paris Around 1730.

Beautiful and Interesting Regency model from the 1730s, with an eventful shape it retains reminiscences of the Louis Étienne Doirat, it presents a beautiful crisscross curling work both on the front and on the sides. With a classic distribution, our chest of drawers opens on the front with 4 drawers in 3 rows separated by crosspieces with copper channels. The building is built entirely of resinous wood as is customary at this period with a red ocher color wash, however we observe particularly careful and more "complex" assemblies than usual, like the tails of dovetail which assembles the floor above to the sides, as well as the assembly of the front uprights with the front crosspiece, these elements demonstrate ancient talent and know-how. The drawers are "Parisian", as we find them at Doirat but also at all the good Parisian cabinetmakers from the end of Louis XIV to the beginning of Louis the facades are made of softwood made of several glued pieces to allow the curve to be cut. Our chest of drawers is a well-developed model with a frieze made of satin veneer, violet wood and rosewood forming diamond point patterns in cross frames, we also note the very beautiful visual obtained on the sides of the piece of furniture. Another detail demonstrating a luxurious production with the fine work carried out in the reserves of the previous uprights consisting of a rectangular strip framed with chevron curling. Complete chiseled and gilded bronze ornamentation with rocaille motif consisting of 6 pull handles, 3 keyholes, 2 shoes and an apron as well as a key with an ornate head. Beautiful and thick rancid marble top from Belgium, perfectly following the shape of the chest of drawers, this marble which is surely the original one is doubly molded around its perimeter. Interesting piece of furniture which is offered to you in very good condition. Dimensions at the marble: Height: 89 cm Width at the back: 128 cm Width at the front: 122 cm Depth in the middle: 65 cm
