The Louis XV chest of drawers in question is a splendid example of refined 18th century Genoese cabinetmaking.
The surface, entirely veneered in bois de violette, plays on the arrangement of the grain, applied in such a way as to create a particular cross-shaped workmanship, both on the front and on the sides, typical of this production area;
The front with two drawers without crosspiece with the shaped apron adjacent to the wavy legs is very elegant. The hips follow an exceptional concave movement.
The back, like all the internal parts, is intact without any replacement.
Undoubtedly it is a piece of furniture that excellently expresses the mastery of the cabinetmakers active in Genoa in the eighteenth century, both for the selection of the chosen materials and for the construction refinement.

The furniture is complete with handles and keyholes in chiseled and gilded bronze. Vintage locks.

State of conservation: Excellent. Perfectly polished

The piece of furniture, like all our objects, is sold with a certificate of authenticity.
