“Krieger” Signed French Louis XV 19th Century Chest with Bronze d’Ore Mounts and Breche d’Alep Marble Top
Item Number: 6357
This fantastic Louis XV two drawer Bombé commode features finely chased bronze d'ore mounts in the floriate manner throughout. The French antique piece dates back to the 19th century, circa 1880, and is signed by the artisan “Krieger,” well known for their craftsmanship and quality in the 1800s. The piece is inlaid with satin wood flowers below a beautifully contoured breche d'Alep marble top. The bronze d’ore works as a striking element to offer a sense of balance and movement. It both frames the inlaid floral pattern wonderfully, and offers accenting details as it rests on the top of the legs on the diagonal as well as the piece's feet.
