Item description

Tuscan dresser in cherry wood, Louis XVI era This elegant dresser, of clear Tuscan manufacture and dating back to the time Louis XVI (late 18th century), is made of cherry wood, with an accurate veneer that enhances its veins and geometric motifs. The cabinet has a solid and proportionate structure, with three large front drawers that offer considerable containment capacity. Each drawer is characterized by a "Greek" inlaid frame, composed of alternating rectangular elements in different shades of wood (Ebano and Bosso), which create a pleasant chromatic contrast and a refined decorative motif. The arrangement of the veins of cherry wood on the front of the drawers is a thorn of fish, contributing to a dynamic and sophisticated visual effect. The handles and vents of the locks are in golden bronze, circular in shape, with relief decorations that recall the typical neoclassical style of the Louis XVI period. The locks are present on all three drawers. The upper floor of the dresser resumes the inlay with "Greek" along the perimeter, framing a stacking arranged in "thorn of fish", which highlights the natural beauty of the cherry wood. The sides of the furniture are also veneered with the same skill, with "thorn" veins and framed by inlays similar to those of the drawers. The feet, a truncated-pyramid-shaped shape, harmoniously connect to the body of the dresser and are also decorated with vertical inlays that recall the same type of decoration present on the drawers and on the plane. This decorative uniformity testifies to the attention to detail and the stylistic coherence of the furniture. Overall, it is a high eBanisteria Toscana furniture, which combines functionality with a refined and sober aesthetic, distinctive characteristics of the Louis XVI style, with a particular predilection for local wooden essences and geometric inlays. The dimensions are: 120 x 58, height 89 cm.
