Cherry tree
Early 19th century
Dimensions: H x W x D: 79 x 115 x 64 cm
Description:
A three-tiered piece of furniture standing on short pointed legs with a cleanly continuous cherry wood grain pattern.
The design of the protruding centre section, as well as the original fire-gilt fittings, clearly dates from the classicist period. The risalike pilaster strips, the corresponding vertical mouldings at the back of the sides and the fillet bands running along the edge of the top also speak the language of the late 18th century.
The omission of further geometric divisions and the arrangement of the grain pattern are already in keeping with the taste of the Biedermeier period.
A particular highlight of the chest of drawers is the box lock in the centre drawer, which locks all three drawers. Equipped with two bolts, the lock closes alternately upwards and downwards each time the key is turned, so that all drawers are locked after six turns. An impressive feat of locksmithery! Please take a look at the video.
Condition: Restored condition with preserved patina. The drawers run cleanly and smoothly, the lock works perfectly.
Price: 4000,- €
