Louis XV / Louis XVI Transition Chest of Drawers in Solid Blonde Walnut, 18th Century

A chest of shape crossbow with top, facades and sides in solid blond walnut, interior, rear and dust caches in pine and white wood.
It opens with three rows of drawers with hectic facades cut into hugs. We will also appreciate the frames with molded sketches in Greek corners which they are provided. Bronzes characteristic of the Louis XV / Louis XVI transition style garnish these three drawers. Thus, each of them has two handfuls of round and pearled foliage drawing, and a lock entrance, the same metal and the same shape but with more modest chisels. The locks are of origins, the bronzes and the three keys are posterior.
The upper hand of this dating in the Term of Corbin is made up of two walnut boards: a first of 53 cm on the front, a second, larger, 17 cm on the rear part.
The sides are worked with molded strips whose angles are similar to those of drawer facades.
We will also note the presence of sculptures on the visible amounts of this dresser.
The whole rests on two swallowed and rolled -up forward feet, and two more sober rear feet.
We can see the quality of wood that composes this dresser, little marked by its 240 years of stories.
