Louis XVI style chest of drawers, French neoclassicism. It presents the structure of proportioned geometric volumes and straight lines typical of Louis XVI furniture, with balanced and stylised lines, different from those of the heavier furniture of the classicist baroque. It is a chest of drawers with three drawers. The two lower drawers have marquetry-worked fronts depicting floral and animalistic motifs, and have two lateral handles. The decoration of the upper drawer is enhanced by a gilt-bronze geometric border. All the drawers have locks and are framed by lighter-coloured wooden panels. The sides and top of the cabinet also continue the same decoration. The skirt has an oval projection ornamented with gilt reliefs.
