Chiffonnière table / Snack table. Transition from the Louis XV and Louis XVI periods. 18th century around 1760. Work certainly from the Bresse region. Rare model due to its design and the woods used. This piece of furniture, all sides, has a facade simulating three drawers on one side and a niche as well as a drawer on the other side. It rests on two sheathed legs and two arched legs ending in bronze sabots and casters facilitating its use. The top is made of Saint Anne gray marble. This table is made of solid wavy ash for the uprights, in ash burl veneer (or burl) on a walnut core for the four sides. The veneer is of a good thickness. Finally, the upper part in which the marble is embedded is in stained wavy sycamore maple. Walnut and oak were used for the sinkers. These local woods give this chiffonier table warm tones and the burl panels offer very shimmering designs. The selection of ash burl sheets was particularly rigorous. It can be noted that on the front simulating the three drawers and the two protruding crosspieces a single sheet of burl is used. Similarly, the upper and lower crosspieces of the niche are made of solid ash burl. Finished with a redone French polish.
