AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant crescent-shaped semainier (seven-drawer dresser) - Transitional Louis XV/XVI style - Inlaid - Italy, mid-20th century
Description
Refined weekly dresser (semainier) in a crescent shape, inspired by the French Transition style (the transition between Louis XV and Louis XVI). The piece features the classic seven drawers, traditionally intended to contain the linens for each day of the week.
The structure is characterized by a sinuous and elegant line, making it ideal for furnishing entrances, bedrooms, or studies with style without taking up excessive space, thanks to its semicircular shape.
Technical and Construction Details:
• Materials: Made with an elegant veneer in premium wood species (walnut/mahogany) with a stunning flame grain.
• Inlays: Each drawer is embellished with fine fillets and inlays in light contrasting woods (maple/boxwood) that create a very sober geometric frame.
• Ornaments: The piece of furniture is enriched with decorative fittings in gilded bronze or finely worked brass, located on the upper uprights, on the feet, and on the original circular knobs.
• Design: The front legs are slightly curved in the 'en cabriole' style, typical of the Louis XV influence, while the body's linearity echoes the neoclassical taste of Louis XVI.
Era: About 1950-1960 (Mid-20th century).
Provenance: Italy (high-quality artisanal cabinetmaking)
