This elegant Regency period chest of drawers is made of violet wood veneer, it is topped with royal red marble bordered by a bec de corbin molding. It opens on the front with four drawers in three rows, separated by dark crosspieces of brass grooves. Its handles, keyholes and falls are in gilded varnished bronze. Its front and sides are pleasantly curved, the interiors of the drawers are in walnut and its core is in fir. Characteristic of the Regency, this kind of chest of drawers decorated with falls of a woman's bust, called Soudanettes, could be attributed to the famous cabinetmaker Etienne Doirat, however some equally prestigious craftsmen produced equivalent furniture, among these we can cite Criaerd or Mondon.
In good condition, this piece of furniture has undergone very few restorations, it has just been revarnished with a buffer and its bronzes are original, their original gold varnish is also worn.
Length 127 cm, depth 66 cm, height 83 cm.
