French Vintage Louis XVI Style Semainier

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 55 ⅞” H x 28 ⅞” W x 15 ½” D

French mahogany vintage 20th century semainier–crafted in the Louis XVI style and quality–this Neoclassical dresser offers seven drawers (one for each day of the week) outlined in brass and crowned with a marble top. The top surface of smoky gray marble has been finished with turreted front corners, traced with dark veining almost hiding a thin line from a previous repair. Solid mahogany wrapping the exterior of the case has been cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to maintain its luster, glistening in the light like caramel and complemented by brass hardware. Each drawer is fitted with a pair of brass bail pulls and diamond shaped escutcheons over working locks (one key included to share among them). Fluted, half-round pilasters on the sides descend to turned feet capped with brass sabots. Please view the detailed images to see more.
