"Tyrrhenian Treasure" English Chest

A rare english early 19th Century chest in the manner of Thomas Hope; the formality of the design of this extraordinary piece of furniture is cleverly emphasised by the strict delineation of the rich mahogany front into a series of panels rigidly centred by extremely fine bronze mounts in the Etruscan taste. The mounts, consisting in bronze roundels and greek masks, are attributed to Alexis Decaix.

Regency Style, bronze-mounted mahogany and ebony inlaid. 100% Mesh.
