- Chest of drawers with satinwood, amaranth, holly and boxwood fillet marquetry. Oak and fir frame. Work by an 18th-century Parisian workshop circa 1770.
- Chest of drawers resting on four cambered legs adorned with lion claws and chased bronze leaves. The protruding front accommodates two large drawers, with the intermediate crosspiece ingeniously concealed. Each drawer is fitted with a lock and two turntables with laurel torus pull rings. The curved apron features a gilded bronze clasp depicting a cassolette with an openwork lid, its handles holding a festooned laurel garland framed by acanthus leaves. Each corner, with its rounded profile, is adorned with a bronze drop with a laurel garland also festooned. The original top is in molded Sait-Anne gray marble, scrolled to match the profile of the façade.
- This commode is distinguished by its rich inlaid decoration: a diamond-shaped mosaic with fleuron (amaranth base and holly fleuron) with a Greek-style fillet frame on the front and sides, and a décor simulating fluting on the corners.
- Very fine craftsmanship, with an oak and fir structure typical of Parisian workshops of the period. Very good condition.
- Dimensions - Height: 86 cm, Width: 112 cm, Depth: 54 cm
