Superb solid molded beech chest with rich inlaid decoration of figures carrying bundles in a landscape of snowy undergrowth and foliage. The uprights are carved in high relief to form the base. Note the quality of the carving and the choice of woods, notably maple burr to illustrate the snowy parts. Very fine cabinetwork and superb patina.
