Early Lyra Chest of Drawers, a creation of German provenance from the late Napoleonic period around 1810.
The design of the delicate chest of drawers in mahogany appears reduced to the bare essentials, but is characterized by exquisite craftsmanship: The drawers are counter-veneered with mahogany on the inside. The elegance of the furniture design and the workmanship suggest a courtly provenance and creation around 1810.
According to one tradition, it is a chest of drawers from the former Mecklenburg estate (Duke Karl zu Mecklenburg (Strelitz), probably from Hohenzieritz Castle.
