Walnut jumping chest of drawers – Louis XV – 18ᵗʰ century - Loire region

This small curved chest of drawers, as if ready to pounce on its raised legs, is, for this reason, called a “jumping chest of drawers”.
At the same time, its humped feet seem to give it a form of lightness.
Its sides are nicely decorated, which reinforces its elegance.
Another detail to note: in trompe-l’oeil when they are closed, appearing to be four, the drawers are in fact three in number. Two upstairs and one downstairs, more roomy as a result.

The small size of this jumping chest, aerial and mischievous, gives it access to the most intimate spaces of all our interiors.

Note the curve of the facade married by the drawers and the rear legs themselves, punctuated by a curve in tune.
