Influenced by the French court yet interpreted with the quiet strength of Liégeoise craftsmanship, the piece embodies symmetry, proportion, and disciplined ornament.
The drawer fronts are richly hand-carved with elegant floral and foliate motifs, centered medallions, and finely detailed gadrooning that runs with measured rhythm across the façade. Fluted corner columns frame the case with architectural clarity, while the gently shaped apron introduces a graceful softness beneath the structured composition.
The stripped finish allows the integrity of the wood and the depth of the carving to be fully appreciated, lending a soft, luminous tone that enhances its presence. Time has refined the surface, giving it a warmth and authenticity that only centuries can bestow.
A distinguished Liégeoise example of the Louis XVI period—balanced, elegant, and enduring—ready to continue its story in a thoughtfully curated interior.
Painstakingly stripped using our proprietary process that retains the patina and sheer natural beauty of the old wood, all performed by our expert in-house staff.
