About the Item

Small lacquered "sauteuse" chest of drawers in the Louis XV style from the Napoleon III period, France, second half of the 19th century. The piece is entirely finished with a glossy black lacquer, embellished on three sides and on the front of the drawers with intricate gold decorations in the Chinoiserie style. The ornamental motifs depict evocative Eastern landscapes featuring pagodas, rocks, fences, and exotic trees, evoking the 18th-century taste for the exotic and Asian lacquerware. The design stands out for its distinctive contoured silhouette and its tall, curved (cabriole) legs, which are also decorated with gilded floral motifs and geometric details at the base. Discreet handles and knobs blend seamlessly into the landscape design. Very good condition, small signs of time. Measurements  H cm 80 L cm 57 34 cm
