technical and construction details

structure and veneer: the front and sides feature a refined curved curve, beautifully veneered in walnut. The herringbone pattern creates a pleasing geometric interplay of contrasting grain patterns that enhances the natural luminosity of the wood.

gilded bronzes: the piece is richly adorned with gilded and chiseled bronze applications in the quintessential rococo style. The large handles shaped like leafy scrolls, the finely crafted keyholes, the footshoes, and the lower and side aprons serve as visual structural elements with a highly decorative impact.

marble top: the upper section is completed by a superb, solid marble top, shaped and veined in shades of antique rose, gray, and white, with a beak-shaped edge that faithfully follows the curved lines of the piece.

condition

the chest of drawers is in excellent overall condition. The mirror polish enhances the depth of the wood grain, and the bronzes retain a splendid glossy patina. The rear structure appears solid and contemporary with the manufacture of the piece.
