Netherlands, around 1765
Attributed to the workshop of Matthijs Horrix (1735-1809, master since 1764). Rosewood and rosewood veneered on oak and coniferous wood.
Exceptionally rich gilt bronze fittings from Birmingham – an English manufactory that also supplied, among others, the Neuwied furniture workshop of Abraham Roentgen, decorate the body of the chest of drawers with additional brass bands on the front. On the drawers with rich cube marquetry. Later, grey grained, very beautiful marble top.
Horrix's workshop in The Hague, founded in the 1760s, soon grew into a large business with over 200 employees. After the marriage of Princess Wilhelmine, Frederick the Great's niece, to William V, Horrix was commissioned to furnish various apartments. An almost identical chest of drawers - there attributed to Roentgen – is located in Brühl Palace near Bonn.
