With this courtly chest of drawers with elaborate carved frame and elegantly curved front, the fittings harmonise perfectly with the the selected veneer pattern from walnut and

Masernut wood. Comparably crafted furniture are located in the Main Franconian Museum in Würzburg.

Oegg manufactured not only ornamental grids and gates for the courtyard garden and the outer front, but carried with artful Wall and ceiling chandeliers, fireplace grills and fittings also play a decisive role in interior decoration to the residence.
