EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning pair of Louis XIV coffres de toilette, also known as marriage chests. Crafted by the renowned artist Andre Charles Boulle between 1642 and 1732, these exquisite pieces are made from ebony, brass, pewter, and tortoiseshell. The intricate marquetry work on the cabinets is truly awe-inspiring. Measuring at an impressive size of 71x124x52 cm and 70x123x52 cm respectively, these black ornate chests command attention with their baroque design. The neoclassical influence is evident in the meticulous gilt decoration that adorns every inch of these wooden masterpieces. The matching pair exudes opulence and grandeur with their elaborate inlay work and decorative gold accents. These coffers not only serve as functional storage boxes but also double up as works of art due to their ornamental craftsmanship. Currently held in a private collection, this print captures the essence of French furniture design during the Louis XIV era. Its historical significance cannot be overstated as it represents a time when elegance and luxury were paramount in interior decor. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every detail of these magnificent coffres de toilette through eChristies Images' lens. This image serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and timeless appeal of fine art furniture like this remarkable pair.
