This chest is in very good condition for its considerable age and usage. There is a slight age related split to one side, please refer to this in the photographs; this is a very common problem with all antique furniture due to modern living conditions such as central heating, open fires and/or under floor heating.
This chest was photographed in natural light in our photobay; it may appear lighter in some images than others and it is normal for these commodes to appear a slightly darker colour in interior room settings, depending upon lighting and décor.
Gris St Anne Belgian Marble
Gris St Anne Belgian Marble, also known as Saint Anne Marble, is a stunning natural stone quarried in Belgium, primarily in the regions of Gougnies near Charleroi and Biesme near Namur. It is renowned for its exquisite appearance giving a dramatic sense of sophistication, elegance and visual interest to the overall design. The marble's captivating appearance can elevate the aesthetics of any room, infusing it with a sense of luxury and timelessness.
Colour and Appearance: It is characterized by its dark grey-brown background with striking white features. The primary colour is a deep, rich dark grey-brown, which imparts a sense of sophistication and elegance. The white accents, which can take the form of veins, patches, or intricate patterns, create a beautiful contrast against the dark background.
Contemporary Usage: Due to its exquisite appearance, it is highly sought-after for various interior applications, including countertops, flooring, wall cladding, and decorative accents in both residential and commercial projects.
Variation: Due to its natural variation, each slab of Saint Anne Marble is distinct and unique and each item bearing this marble is truly a one off.
Maintenance: Having been correctly sealed initially, and maintained throughout its existence if regular maintenance is carried out to protect the marble from staining this will ensure its longevity.
