About the Item
This small Louis XVI style dresser comes from France and dates back to the second half of the 19th century.
The two drawer commode stands on slightly curved legs which are decorated with foliate bronze sabots. The special part about this piece is the beautiful marquetry on top and front. On the front the artisan created a marquetry with an illustration of the fable “The Fox and the Crow”, one of Aesop’s famous Fables. It was also published in La Fontaine’s collection of fables in the late 17th century. Since the fable stands at the beginning of La Fontaine’s fables, generations of French children commonly learned it by heart. This explains also the many settings by French composers. The fable is depicted no less than three times in the border of the Bayeux Tapestry and it has been speculated that a political commentary is intended.
It was also very popular in other European countries and we can find depictions of it in various illustrations, paintings and decorative art objects.
The dresser ships from Germany and includes shipping costs and to Boston.

Louis XV Chest of Drawers, France, 1770
Located in Belmont, MA
This gorgeous French Louis XV chest of drawers dates back to around 1770. It was made during the so called Transition period, the time between Louis XV and Louis XVI. It already shows the plain and stricter design of the Louis XVI period, but has still some playful marquetry decor details which draw from the more pompous Louis XV style. The three drawers commode stands on four cabriole legs with bronze sabots. Between the first and the second drawer is a decorated bronze band. This beautiful chest of drawers has its original wooden top with its veneer decor matching the decor of the front and sides.
The Transition commode has been expertly refinished in our workshop.
