@1725 Antique French Furniture Louis XIV Mini Chest of Drawers Jewelry Box

  

Antique french jewelry box chest miniature dresser inlaid wormy walnut. AT LEAST 250 YEARS OLD. MOST LIKELY FRENCH, LOUIS XIV PERIOD.

OXBOW DRAWER FRONTS ARE COVERED IN INLAID WALNUT & SOME HOLLY(light wood), ALSO POSSIBLY SOME FRUITWOOD. THE WORMY WOOD IS SPECTACULAR & HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER. THE HAND TURNED BUN FEET ELEVATE THE PIECE & MAKE IT LOOK SPECTACULAR 2 of 4 are original.

THE COMPASS INLAY IN THE TOP IS A GREAT DETAIL. THE DRAWER KNOBS ARE SOLID BRASS/BRONZE PERIOD KNOBS BUT NOT ORIGINAL TO THIS CHEST. THE KEY WORKS ALL 3 LOCKS.

I MADE THE KEY FROM OLD STOCK. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PIECE LIKE THIS, I COULD NOT PASS IT UP, I RESTORED IT TO FULL GLORY RESPECTING ITS AGE & HISTORY & l LEFT MANY CHARACTER & BEAUTY MARKS IN PLACE PRESERVING ITS HISTORIC CHARM. PERHAPS YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS FINE ANTIQUE JUST LIKE I DID!! 6 1/2" x 6 1/2".
