This is a French Bombe style Chest circa 1920 with marble top, and is in superb 99% condition. It has three locking drawers but the key was lost long before I acquired it. It will be easy to replace if needed.
I purchased this piece about 10 years ago when I was a designer dealing in fine pieces. I paid a designer price then of over $1,000 my price. The market is a little softer now in the trade, but the start price of this piece in this sale is a wholesale price for this piece, not a retail piece for a piece of this size and quality. This is a $1500 piece retail all day long.
The piece looks and functions fantastic. It\'s getting more difficult to find chests of this size and quality anymore that are not heavily worn. This piece looks basically new despite its almost 100 year age, with no significant marks or damage of any kind. It\'s truly in wonderful condition.
Buyer to pay shipping via Uship or carrier of your choice, though I will happily help arrange it and load the item.
