Description:
Item #: 4-592-0
Object: Trunk
Origin: France
Style:
FRENCH COUNTRY / FRENCH PROVINCIAL STYLE
Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, the very best furniture craftsmen in France worked in Paris. Competition for the available positions was fierce. Pieces found today that are marked with signatures from Parisian workshops are recognized as being of very high quality. However, quite a lot of furniture production also occurred outside of Paris in rural villages throughout France. Furniture makers often found apprenticeships with craftsmen far from their homes so they could bring innovative styles and increased knowledge back to their villages. Although loosely based on the styles of Louis XV and Louis XVI, provincial furniture makers developed their own interpretation of these styles, which tended to have more of a rustic charm. They often worked in oak, walnut and cherry. Chairs, especially with a ladder back design, commonly had rush-bottoms rather than upholstery.
Date: 1880
Comment:
This is an old one! Dovetail construction and hammered iron handles make this a great piece.
Condition:
AVERAGE
In overall average condition. Antique and vintage items by their very nature are used items and will show signs of normal wear due to age and use. As we define 'average condition' relative to the stated age of the piece, we would expect to see quite a few 'character marks' consistent with that age and could include significant nicks or dings or splits in the wood on a piece of furniture, separation at joints in wood due to expansion and contraction over time, locks may not function, drawers and doors may not open or slide easily, and original trim may be missing. If there has been a break in the marble, it has been repaired and the repair may be visible. There may be restoration that is visible. Upholstered items may show wear consistent with age and use and likely would need to be reupholstered. EuroLux Antiques makes no representation regarding the comfort or useability for the customer's particular application.
