Description

The wardrobe, retailed by Au Gros Chêne, is set with ormolu mounts, and profusely adorned with superb Neoclassical style marquetry designs. The wardrobe is of three bays: the central, widest bay features a mirror-fronted door, while the two narrower bays feature doors adorning with Neoclassical style marquetry of abstracted vases. The central mirrored bay opens to reveal a wardrobe with three lower shelves above two drawers, while each of the side bays open to reveal a series of shelves, with each door featuring a mirrored backing. The wood throughout is wonderfully veneered in a geometrically manner, while the ormolu mounts are deftly cast and finished. The wardrobe is raised on wooden cabriole legs mounted with ormolu foliate sabots.

The cabinet is affixed with a brass plate indicating it was retailed by Au Gros Chêne.
