Known for their impeccable bench-made craftsmanship, these substantial chests capture the true romance, movement, and detailed artistry of the classic 18th-century French Rococo style.
​Beautifully constructed with serpentine "bombe" profiles, each chest features two spacious, deep drawers ornamented with deeply carved, sweeping cartouches and asymmetrical floral flourishes. The shaped aprons are spectacularly hand-carved with pierced, undulating foliate scrollwork, flowing effortlessly down to elegant, scrolled cabriole legs resting on French whorl feet.
​Each drawer is accented with heavy, high-quality cast-brass ormolu-style pull handles that blend seamlessly into the organic, flowing lines of the carving. The rich, warm patina of the wood features a beautiful, honey-toned fruitwood finish that highlights the stunning natural grain of the wood.
​Perfectly balanced in scale, this rare matching pair offers incredible versatility—ideal as stately bedside tables in a luxury master suite, flanking a fireplace, or as sophisticated accent chests in a grand entryway or living salon. See less
