Louis XVI–Style Cherrywood Chest of Drawers with Brass Trim, France

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A refined Louis XVI–style chest of drawers crafted in cherry wood and cherry veneer, distinguished by its architectural clarity and restrained neoclassical ornament. The façade opens with two drawers fitted with elegant drop handles, centered by shield-shaped escutcheons that reinforce the period vocabulary. The cherrywood top is framed by a brass gallery, echoed by brass rods outlining the drawer fronts and continuing along the sides, providing visual structure and subtle contrast to the warm wood tones.

The front uprights are finely fluted, emphasizing verticality and balance, while the four square-section, sheathed legs taper neatly and terminate in brass sabots. The proportions are harmonious, with clean lines and a disciplined use of decorative elements characteristic of the Louis XVI aesthetic.

Both functional and decorative, this chest is well suited for use in a bedroom, hallway, or refined living space. A composed and elegant example of French neoclassical design inspired by late 18th-century models.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
