The drawer fronts are fully moulded with scrolls and volutes, featuring wooden inlays that add a touch of sophistication to the whole piece. The uprights are adorned with turned and tapered columns with a setback, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the artisans of the time. The entire piece rests on a stepped base with a groove, ending at the front with imposing bun feet, providing the chest with stability and a commanding presence. The inset top made of Belgian red griotte marble adds a touch of luxury and refinement to this exceptional piece of furniture. P.
