18th Century Mahogany Chest
18th Century Mahogany Chest
These 18th-century mahogany chest with sphinx feet and ram’s head embellishments suggest an influence from the Neoclassical period, particularly the Louis XVI style in France or the Adam style in Britain. These motifs were inspired by the renewed interest in classical antiquity, fueled by archaeological discoveries in Greece and Rome.
By the 18th century, mahogany had become the dominant luxury wood due to its strength and rich patina, replacing walnut. This pair of chests are stunning examples of fine 18th Century craftsmanship.
