Appearing during the reign of Louis XIV, it was such a prestigious piece of furniture that it often graced reception rooms rather than wardrobes. It introduced the sliding drawer, a revolution that finally allowed access to belongings without emptying everything. Whether called "jumping chest of drawers" [on tall legs] or "tomb chest," it is defined by its generous top and facade rhythmically adorned with two or three rows of drawers.
