Antique louis xv chest of drawers with fire-gilt fittings
paris around 1750
dimensions: h x w x d: 85 x 132 x 64 cm
:
very beautifully crafted and absolutely collectible french chest of drawers from the mid-18th century with fittings of outstanding quality.
body standing on flared feet with five drawers in three rows. The two lower drawers each extend over the full width. The top row is divided into three drawers, whereby the narrow middle drawer is not obvious and can only be unlocked from the inside when the right drawer is completely pulled out.
the body of the piece of furniture is strongly curved and bulging, not only on the front, but also on the sides and the pilaster strips.
the fact that the marquetry is the same color everywhere makes it visually reserved, but that doesn't make it any less elaborate. Tension is created here by the diagonal grain gradients, which are double framed on the drawers and form large checks on the sides.
the dark wood forms the perfect background for the wonderfully preserved fire-gilded fittings. The fittings were not only cast in very good quality, but were then also finely hand-carved.
the gray veined marble slab is loosely placed. Below we find the stamp signature coulon.
the back wall and top of the body are made of frame and infill construction, typical of the time and region. The dust shelves between the drawers are another example of the high manufacturing quality.
useful information:
the brothers gaspard and jean-francois coulon ran an exclusive furniture store on rue princesse in the faubourg saint-germain district of paris before 1740.
the shop called "la toilette royale" enjoyed a very good reputation and important personalities such as the duke of chevreuse, the duke of villeroy, the princess of conti, the prince of condé in chantilly, the duke of\. Bouillon or the countess of montmorency as customers.
in addition to their own works, the coulons also offered works by other well-known ebenists such as jacques bircklé, nicolas jean marchand, philippe claude montigny and pierre falconet.
since both brothers signed their own works without a first name initial, it is difficult to determine who the creator of the chest of drawers offered here is. And since the coulons also had the right to stamp other furniture they offered, one of the aforementioned ebenists could also be considered as the executing master.
what is certain is that the piece of furniture was sold at “la toilette royale”. This is proven by both the authentic stamp and the excellent quality of the furniture.
condition:
restored and suitable for everyday use. Excellent original condition of the fire gilding. The middle drawer lock was replaced.
