Scriban chest of drawers in walnut, Louis XV period - XVIIIth century

Scriban chest of drawers made in the 18th century during the reign of Louis XV in the Loire Valley.
Its front and sides are in walnut.
It opens with two large identical drawers, applied on the body, with edges slightly shaped in half-beam. They are overhung by two smaller drawers. They are equipped with functional iron locks, authentic bronze entries, later keys and drop handles with two attachments with openwork and chiseled rosettes. In the central part there is also a false drawer with bronze entrance.
The sloping, overlapping flap has a mitered and half-rounded frame. It should be noted that the wood parts are well joined and free of elements that do not correspond to the period of this piece of furniture (composite or other). This flap is fixed on two original iron hinges and is held in a horizontal position by two hooks. The work space is darkened with a soft green cowhide leather embellished with a golden scroll vignette and a central motif. The interior also offers a central niche, two concave stepped drawers and a slightly shaped grooved drawer. The latter open with brass knobs. The reserve (or false drawer) is hidden by a sliding plate.
The front uprights are quarter round and recessed, and the whole ends with snail feet.
The skirt is slightly cut with moldings.
The sides are each composed of a single panel with molded edges.
The whole piece of furniture is pegged.
This entirely authentic scriban chest of drawers will be appreciated for its dimensions, its small volume and its sobriety.
