ABOUT PRODUCTID 5748
This French bombe chest of drawers, crafted circa 1880, exemplifies the woodworking artistry of the Rococo Revival period. Its structure is formed from solid walnut in a warm, medium hue, with a natural grain highlighted by a semi-gloss finish. The front and sides feature intricate floral marquetry in contrasting wood tones, lending sophistication to the flowing silhouette. The thick, pink marble top, streaked with white and gray veining and polished to a lustrous sheen, offers a luxurious and durable surface. The hardware—patinated bronze or brass handles and escutcheons—displays elaborate Rococo motifs such as acanthus leaves and scrolls. Cabriole legs with decorative mounts complete the harmonious, undulating form. Dimensions: height 91 cm, width 122 cm, depth 53 cm. Condition is very good, with only minor signs of use consistent with age and no significant damage; the piece retains authentic period elements without modern replacements or major restoration. The contours of this chest evoke the story of 19th-century French elegance, when craftsmen referenced the legacy of Rococo masters, blending dynamic lines with refined ornamentation. Its undulating form and intricate marquetry recall the atmosphere of Parisian salons, where every detail contributed to both social life and the expression of personal taste. The marble top reflects the light, introducing a sense of grandeur, while the patinated fittings speak to the passage of time and the noble character of the materials. This chest could serve as a statement
