A slim and elegant Louis XVI style semainier in rich mahogany, finished with delicate satinwood string inlay outlining each drawer. Traditionally used to store lingerie and fine linens—one drawer for each day of the week, hence the name semainier—these tall chests are as practical as they are pretty. The drop-front upper compartment is fitted with a lovely pierced gilt-bronze escutcheon and lock, while ring pulls dress the drawers below. Gilt-bronze mounts trim the canted corners, and a grey marble top crowns the piece, all raised on gently splayed feet with brass sabots. Its tall, narrow footprint makes it ideal for a bedroom, hallway, or dressing corner where floor space is precious.
