AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Oaken mahogany furniture with seven drawers in the French Louis XV style
This type of furniture, called a 'semainier' (literally 'weekly' in French), originates from the French XVIIIth and XIXth century tradition. Originally designed with seven drawers to store underwear for each day of the week, this piece reflects the elegance and refinement of the Louis XV style, characterized by curved lines, Cabriole legs, and decorations in gilt bronze. The bombé (curved) shape and slender proportions were particularly appreciated in French aristocratic bedrooms.
These pieces are highly sought after by collectors of French antique furniture and enthusiasts of classical decor for their functionality and timeless elegance. The combination of refined craftsmanship, precious wood, and decorative metal details makes them pieces of great aesthetic and historical value. They are especially valued by interior designers and collectors who wish to add a touch of European refinement to their spaces, as well as by those seeking functional furniture with a strong historical and artistic character.
