Twee ladekasten 1780 - 1807

This 18th century design for a chest of drawers, "Twee ladekasten", by Elias Strasser is a detailed line drawing of a Neoclassical design, showing the front and side elevations of the piece. The simple but elegant design emphasizes the straight lines and geometric shapes of the Neoclassical style, with the drawers framed by delicate molding and the legs tapering towards the floor. Strasser's design highlights the enduring appeal of classical forms in 18th-century furniture design, a trend that was popular throughout Europe. The drawing is held in the Rijksmuseum and measures 271 mm high and 185 mm wide.
