Manufacture

The chest of drawers is entirely hand-built in our high cabinet-making workshop according to the typical 17th century craftsmanship. The inlays of this perfect and elegant reproduction in Louis XV style are obtained on a 4 mm slab. The handles are made of cast bronze on the ground mold. It is polished by hand using only natural products: the water-based lands are used to obtain the desired shade, while for its light antiquing we used stone.Finally, everything is fixed to shellac spread with a brush, finished in wick (22 circular passages with tampon) with straw-colored oil and pumice-stone powder, to emphasize the warm veins and chromaticity of the splendid briar root and approach the polishing of the original model.
