Golden brass. Tin. Bronze. The technique of the work of the cabinetmaker was a long-term work with the use of patinated gilded wood and varied scenes executed with care in the spirit of vernis martin: We find allegorical scenes in the taste of boucher or fragonard, baskets of ribboned flowers and a strong presence of angels and cherub. Everything leads us to believe that this toilet was offered by a gentleman to his beautiful on the occasion of a birth. The materials that dress this piece of furniture deserve to be cared for (delicate cleaning) to regain their former brilliance. The ice of the psyche is of origin and topped with a pediment.
