An extremely rare and wonderful period Louis XVI artist's chest equipped with brushes and pigments used for faux decorative painting. The top of the chest removes and serves as a stool. The artist who maintained this ingenious chest had an accurate system for storing his paints, brushes, and pigments within its numerous numbered and lettered boxes, compartments, glass bottles and drawers. The bottom drawer contains specially-designed brushes used for marbling techniques and a well-used artist's palette. Excellent condition.

Circa 1775
