Italian Louis XVI Marquetry Chest of Drawers with Gray Marble Top, 18th Century
An exceptional Italian Louis XVI chest of drawers from Lombardy, late 18th century. Crafted in walnut and richly veneered, it features a rectangular gray marble top above three drawers outlined with fine geometric banding. The central medallion is inlaid with a delicate mountain landscape, depicting a winged cherub and a young girl — a rare motif showcasing the poetic imagination of Northern Italian marquetry masters. Bronze ring pulls punctuate the design with subtle elegance, while the tall, tapered pyramid legs give the piece a balanced neoclassical stance. The contrast between the warm walnut and the soft marble surface underscores its quiet luxury. A superb example of refined Louis XVI taste interpreted through Italian craftsmanship — decorative, functional, and timeless.
