Description from the seller
Elegant French Napoleon III dresser with marble top, dating from the second half of the nineteenth century, characterized by a refined sinuous structure and a rich decoration in inlay. The front features three sections with drawers embellished with geometric marquetry in precious woods, framed by fillets and moldings in contrasting wood. The handles and escutcheons of the hardware are made of worked bronze, consistent with the period style.
The piece rests on slender cabriole legs, typical of French taste of the era, enriched with chased bronze applications and a sinuous line that gives the whole a sense of lightness. The upper top is made of a fine dark veined marble, with a sinuous silhouette, perfectly in harmony with the underlying structure.
A dresser of great charm and strong decorative presence, ideal for entryways, living rooms, or bedrooms in a classical style.
