DRESSING TABLES - CHEST OF DRAWERS
Little chest of drawers furniture
300 €
Rosalie
Let me introduce you to Rosalie. This first name of Latin origin comes from the words "rosa" (rose) and "lilium" (lily). It is also a corruption of the Latin rosaria, “the garden of roses”. And its color, depending on the light, changes: gray powder pink, slightly purple beige, pearl gray. So yes, Rosalie suits this little 3-drawer chest of drawers. She arrives from Saint-Mandrier and has been completely transformed. It has been decorated with golden floral designs on the sides and, when you open the drawers, a very discreet floral reminder underlines its delicate discretion. The interior of the drawers has also been completely painted. Considering its age, its central drawer is slightly stuck. A slight upward movement and it opens! It is very soft and can find its place in a bedroom, an entrance or in the living room. And always accompanied by a small matching box. It bears the marks of time like any old piece of furniture.

Coiffeuse Louis XV
295 €
Louise
Voici Louise, petite coiffeuse élancée style Louis XV. Elle est en merisier massif. Toute en rondeur, elle apportera de la douceur à votre intérieur, dans une chambre ou une entrée. Sa particularité ? Elle est estampillée André Mailfert. Mais c'est qui celui là ? Un peu d'histoire :
André Mailfert (1884 – 1943) est un industriel, ébéniste, peintre, écrivain, qui a créé à Orléans en 1904 une entreprise fabriquant de faux meubles anciens. Il compte parmi les faussaires en meubles les plus connus, parce qu’il a raconté sa vie dans un livre de mémoires, où il avoue avoir produit de toutes pièces de faux meubles anciens, sur une grande échelle, et dans l’intention délibérée de permettre à ses clients de tromper leurs propres clients, antiquaires et collectionneurs.
Il raconte, dans son livre de souvenirs "Au Pays des antiquaires", comment, avec les quelque deux cents ébénistes, menuisiers, doreurs, patineurs… que compta son entreprise, il produisit des centaines de commodes, tables, trumeaux, sièges, buffets…
Les meubles Mailfert à proprement parler, portant la marque au feu de la Salamandre sont, eux, toujours recherchés par certains amateurs de mobilier de charme.
