"French Chest Chest Of Drawers, Regence, Rosewood Veneer, Early 18th Centur

Very beautiful Parisian chest of drawers, from the Regency period, in rosewood. It is curved on the front and on the sides.
It opens with three drawers adorned with a beautiful ornamentation of gilded bronzes: asymmetrical “left” and “right” rock handles, and keyhole entries with a bearded man's head.
The uprights are "pinched" and decorated with "Spanish".
This dresser has a beautiful curved pinkish gray marble.

The proportions, the beautiful bronzes and the characteristic “silhouette” of this chest of drawers (pronounced curve, pinched uprights, etc.) are similar to those produced by the famous cabinetmaker Etienne Doirat (1675-1732).
A chest of drawers stamped "E.DOIRAT" has the same general appearance and has "Spanish" similar to those of our chest of drawers. (see detail photo1)

Historical annecdote:
The 18th century Parisian master cabinetmakers worked with the best bronziers of their time. We often find the same bronze model on the productions of several great cabinetmakers. Thus we can point out that the same locks with the head of a bearded man are found on a chest of drawers, stamped "MIGEON" (for Pierre IV Migeon 1696-1758)
