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