TSA-702-V1 - Victor Hugo Drawer Chest
W: 49.50 in D: 25.50 in H: 32.75 in
The French Louis XVI 18th-century marquetry chest with neoclassical escutcheons is a fine example of the neoclassical style that became popular during the late 18th century, under the reign of Louis XVI. This style marked a return to classical antiquity's clean lines, symmetry, and restrained ornamentation, moving away from the ornate Rococo style that preceded it. The marquetry technique, which involves inlaying
wood veneer to create intricate patterns and scenes, alongside neoclassical escutcheons, demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship and artistic sophistication of French furniture makers of the time, reflecting the cultural shift towards classical ideals of beauty and order.
