This small chest of drawers has a classic form typical of the Regency period. Still retaining the strictures of Louis XIV, the front is curved, the front uprights are rounded, and the sides remain straight.
It opens at the front with 3 drawers. Its uprights and intermediate crossbars are made of brass fluting.
In terms of construction, the chest of drawers is entirely made of fir; the intermediate panels are dovetailed into the sides, and the back is composed of horizontal planks held in place by nails in a rabbet joint.,
The drawers are made of walnut, except for the fronts which are made of white wood. The drawer bottoms are flat and nailed in place.
Rio rosewood veneer, commonly used alone during the Regency period, is divided into panels with flat bands on the drawer fronts, the edges of which are softened with a quarter round veneered across the grain, the sides of the chest of drawers are veneered in a single-axis chevron pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
