exquisite black french chest of drawers, in the louis xv style, a vintage reinterpretation of exceptional quality, in ebonized wood and a black marble top. Its elegant, gently curved design is typical of the louis xv style, with soft lines and a slightly rounded shape. The deep black finish of the ebonized wood adds a sophisticated touch, while the silver-toned metal handles, with ornate details, evoke the classic aesthetic of the period. The handles are finely crafted, with medallion and garland details, very popular during this period. The legs are lightly galve-finished. On the front, there are two drawers with ample storage capacity, each with a lock and two handles. A very special piece of furniture that combines classic aesthetics with modernity.

more about the louis xv style

the louis xv style is an artistic style, especially present in the decorative arts, that developed during the reign of louis xv (1715-1774). Initially, the term "louis xv style" referred to a characteristic type of chair, but it soon spread to all the arts of the period. This style was created by cabinetmakers as a result of greater technical advancements in the manufacture of wooden furniture. It is identified with the architectural style known as rococo. Like rococo, it features lavish decoration and detailing, in contrast to the later, simpler "louis xvi style."
