Product Description
Old World Drawer Dresser The traditional design of Old World is inspired primarily by classic European styles of antiquity. Clearly influenced by the later Renaissance period, which featured enrichment of ornament and outline, Old World reflects the elaborate details of the French and English translation of this significant architectural movement. As Roman design standards like columns and pilasters were applied to furniture, a full complement of bases, cornices and pediments emerged, transforming cabinets, dressers and other case pieces into scaled-down architectural compositions. Cathedral cherry and exotic avodire veneers are complemented by fine herringbone inlay, with burnished edges and hand rubbed fronts giving a satiny glow to the rich pomegranate finish of Old World. Classic details of sculptural acanthus leaf carvings, a rhythmic lamb's tongue motif and baroque styled custom hardware add to the architectural splendor of this beautifully crafted collection. FEATURES: The beautifully crafted veneer work on the tops and fronts of most pieces is created by artistic use of cathedral cherry and exotic avodire veneers set off by fine herringbone inlay. Sculptural acanthus leaf carvings adorn the canted pilasters of the case pieces. Case fronts are highlighted by a carved frame molding in a rhythmic Lamb's tongue motif. The edges of all tops are gadrooned in a carved leaf pattern. Concave and convex forms, placed within the architecture of most case fronts, highlight the detail in each piece and create a sense of movement. A traditionally styled bracket foot with gadrooned lobes and acanthus scroll carving gives the feeling of a pedestal seeming to push the cases upward, while serving as a sturdy anchor. Most end panels are crafted in raised panel and frame construction. DIMENSIONS: 74" W
