Superb Return from Egypt chest of drawers in solid Cuban mahogany and veneer, topped with elegant Belgian granite marble. It opens with three large drawers of good height, whose fronts, veneered with Mahogany leaves arranged in an open book, reveal a refined grain and a deep color. Each drawer is adorned with original gilt bronze lion head ring handles, as well as a period lock with its threaded entry and adjusted Empire key. The interior of the piece of furniture is carefully fitted with wooden dust covers, highlighting the quality of its manufacture. The side uprights are magnificently dressed with chiseled bronze caryatids, resting on sheathed pilasters, ending in a molded pedestal also in bronze. The chest of drawers rests on a projecting plinth and its front legs are distinguished by powerful claws carved in blackened wood, in the style of "lion's paws". With its harmonious proportions, rich ornamentation, and noble wood, this perfectly preserved and restored chest of drawers, over two centuries old, combines elegance and functionality with its spacious drawers and superb fittings.
