Louis XV Cabinet, Restored in Paris, around 1900 - France

Extraordinary Parisian cabinet, recently restored. This is a late 19th-century Louis XV chest of drawers, recently restored in the Parisian district "Faubourg du Meuble," famous for its cabinetmakers. It bears a stamp under the marble from the workshop.

An elegant cabinet with a bulging front and sides, featuring three wide drawers on the facade, adorned with rich gilt-bronze fittings, with vegetal-inspired pulls and key escutcheons, as well as applications at the corners and the feet. It rests on tall, curved legs topped with bronze sabot feet. The piece retains an attractive veined marble top in cream and honey tones, perfectly adapted to the wavy silhouette of the furniture.

Its deep black finish stands out, recently achieved in the historic Faubourg Saint-Antoine in Paris, renowned for centuries as the great district of cabinetmakers and furniture artisans. Since medieval times and especially from the privileges granted to artisans settled in this area, Faubourg Saint-Antoine became the leading Parisian center for the manufacture, restoration, and trade of quality furniture. Generations of cabinetmakers, carvers, gilders, veneer workers, and varnishers worked there, forming an artisanal tradition that still identifies the neighborhood today as the cradle of Parisian furniture. During the 18th and 19th centuries it came to host thousands of specialized workshops and was known as the “Faubourg du Meuble,” supplying furniture to both the aristocracy and the French haute bourgeoisie.

The cabinet bears a stamp under the marble.

Dimensions: 82 x 119 x 47 cm.
