Five-drawer chest – Transitional Style – Marquetry and marble

Five-drawer chest in Transition style (Louis XV/Louis XVI), made of wood veneer with marquetry and light wood framing.

The upper corners are adorned with gilt bronze mounts in neoclassical patterns; the tapered legs end in bronze sabots. The interior of the drawers and the back reveal heavily aged raw wood, with cracks and darkening indicating genuine antiquity, likely between 1800 and 1850.
