This magnificent solid cherrywood chest of drawers, dating from the early 20th century, embodies the timeless elegance and masterful craftsmanship of the era.
Stamped on the back with a hot-stamped salamander, the distinctive signature of André Mailfert (1884-1943).
Mailfert was a French industrialist, painter, writer, and cabinetmaker known for his high-quality reproductions of antique furniture.
The chest of drawers is cleverly arranged with two drawers along the waistband, perfect for everyday items, as well as two wider drawers in the body, providing considerable storage space.
The refined details add a touch of sophistication: a bronze faux door and gilt bronze handles, delicately adorned with motifs of birds nestled in scrollwork.
These decorative elements evoke a subtle balance between functionality and aesthetics. This piece blends harmoniously into a classic interior, while bringing authenticity and undeniable charm.
It is a true testament to the talent of the craftsmen of yesteryear and an invitation to preserve their exceptional know-how.
