Vintage Design
Beautiful chest of drawers in a solid walnut, surmounted by an important psyche, produced by the Nantes house Guinand-Leglas, recognized for His Excellency.
This piece of furniture, combining the refinement of a hairdresser and the storage capacity of an elegant rockery style chest of drawers, is composed of a drawer’s belt, then three identical drawers. Each facade has a walnut veneer arranged in four sheets, embellished in relief by small moldings connected by carved wood elements. On each drawer, we find a original bronze entrance accompanied by a lock and a key in operating.
On each side of this psyche chest of drawers, a finely carved amount of scrolls and foliage, in the upper and low, ends with a humpback foot with acanthus sheet.
Joining the front feet, a cut low crossroad is decorated with a sculpted shell and scrolls.
The sides of this piece of furniture are made up of a veneer of four sheets.
On the top a red and white cherry marble, with Corbin throat and beak, is embedded in a molded edge.
The psyche part, taking up the ornaments of the dresser, is made up of a large mirror with curved lines and two small drawers with wooden pimples. On the sides, consoles, moldings and the framing of the mirror are in solid walnut and are accompanied by an important sculpture on the pediment.
The mercury mirror, beveled, is original and in perfect condition. The inclination of it is adjusted by bronze tightening in the shape of pine cones.
