18th Century Dutch Chest

This Dutch bombe secretary chest is a sculptural masterpiece of the 18th century, newly refinished to highlight its exquisite form while preserving its historic soul. Crafted in the Netherlands around 1760, the piece showcases the quintessential bombe silhouette, with sweeping serpentine drawers, a scalloped apron, and claw feet—all hallmarks of the Dutch Rococo period.

Recently updated with a textured, chalky gray finish, the surface evokes the softness of timeworn plaster while providing a refreshed, elegant neutrality ideal for modern interiors. The original brass escutcheons and drawer pulls remain, offering a striking contrast against the pale tones and hinting at the chest’s storied past.

Both graceful and grounded, this secretary is a timeless anchor in any space—blending antique craftsmanship with a thoughtfully renewed finish.
