Its curved shape, typical of the Rococo style, is enhanced by finely chiseled bronze mounts and sabots, which accentuate the graceful curve of its legs.
The drawers, with concealed crossbars, offer a clean and flowing front, reinforced by a lock discreetly integrated into the top drawer.
The bronze handles, adorned with acanthus leaves, add a touch of botanical and Baroque style, true to the decorative spirit of the 18th century.
The richly sculpted central finial lends a note of majesty to the whole, while the griotte marble top, with its contrasting white veins, crowns the piece with brilliance and nobility. A truly distinctive piece, this chest of drawers combines functionality and aesthetics in perfect harmony, reflecting the appreciation for historical styles and meticulous attention to detail characteristic of early 20th-century furniture.
