Consistent 18th century craftsmanship, it has transverse rails between the drawers, stile-and-rail construction, with the stiles generously proportioned and framed with well-defined moldings and a shaped apron. The drawers have nicely carved rococo foliate motifs and the gilt-bronze hardware features scrolling handles flanked by whimsical figures in exotic headdresses. Visible wear, minor old repairs, patina, and surface imperfections attest to its age and history of use. A fine example of southwestern or Loire Valley regional craftsmanship, blending provincial tastes with sophisticated rococo attributes. See less
