Product description
Beautiful Golden-Blond Mahogany Cabinet From the Louis XVI period, around 1775. The wood has been expertly French polished ( politour) - a time-consuming and costly technique in which shellac is meticulously applied using a pad in circular motions. Shellac is a natural product. This process results in a beautiful deep gloss, making the wood resemble polished mineral. It is a classicist style, inspired by ancient Roman antiquity. During this period, Roman antiquity was rediscovered, and wealthy individuals began to travel extensively through Italy to admire its art and architecture - The Grand Tour. The lower cabinet features three large drawers that slide smoothly. The shape is "single curved", straight at the top and elegantly bowed toward the bottom. The interior is refined and extensive. Also very practical, with ample storage space. Multiple shelves and five small drawers, all veneered in red mahogany. Elegant tapered legs. The upper part can be taken apart, making the piece easy to transport. The height to the cornice is 212 cm, and including the central ornament it measures 234 cm.
