Description:
Three-storey piece of furniture standing on pointed legs with very elaborate inlay work in maple on a base of walnut and fruitwood.

The chest of drawers is visually divided into two parts by a frieze of partly fire shaded maple wood.
At the front, we see a drawer decorated with flower garlands at the top. In the lower section, there are two drawers worked sans travers, which are marked across the drawers with acanthus and flower tendrils.
Geometrically running ribbon and thread inlays serve as frames and structuring elements.

The sides of the chest of drawers are decorated with large fan-like rosettes.
This picture is repeated on the top plate, where it is complemented by mirrored tendrils of flowers.

Condition: Elaborately restored piece of furniture, shellac hand polished. Functional and suitable for everyday use.
