Baroque Chest of Drawers, 1750-60
Discover a remarkable Baroque Chest of Drawers, originating in Switzerland. This exceptional chest of drawers hails from the years 1750-60 and boasts a rich history rooted in Switzerland. It is an exquisite two-drawer bombe commode, elegantly poised on gracefully curved slender legs. What truly sets this Baroque piece apart is its unique diamond-shaped walnut marquetry adorning the top, front, and sides. Remarkably, this chest of drawers retains its original bronze fittings and escutcheons, preserving its authentic charm. Incredibly, this antique remains in very good, untouched condition, offering a glimpse into the craftsmanship of a bygone era. This unique chest of drawers definitely shows the influence of the well know Swiss-German cabinetmaker Mathaeus Funk and of Johannes Aebersold, another well known Swiss furniture maker of the 18th century.
Mathaeus Funk (1697-1783)
Funk was born 1697 in Frankfurt (Germany). After his apprenticeship to become a cabinetmaker, he started his journeyman journey within Germany and in Paris. Since 1724 he worked and lived in Berne as a master cabinetmaker.
Five journeyman from Sweden and Germany worked in his growing workshop. His clients came from Swiss cities and the Duchy of Wuerttemberg.
You can find various examples of his furniture pieces which are comparable to the chest of drawers offered here, and which are today in museum collections in Switzerland or southern Germany.
The biggest and most prominent collection of Funk furniture pieces is located in the castle of Jegenstorf , a small town in the Canton of Bern in Switzerland. Other pieces can be found in the Historical Museum in Bern.
