Inspiration source:
1. The origin of traditional bombe chests can be traced back to the French Regency period around the early 18th century.
2. After the demise of Louis XIV, a connoisseur of strict classical forms of furniture, furniture-makers started experimenting with newer, more casual styles of furniture making.
3. As a result, furniture shapes became more bowed and round. The signature form of this period was the bombe commode, a stylish chest with a belly-outward curve.

I like the history on this as well. It is beautiful, I never saw anything like it. I love the bowed and round thing going on and the hidden compartments. How hidden are these compartments, are they easy to find or really hidden?

The hidden compartment is contained in the third image view, but cannot be seen.
So I guess you could say it is hidden!

I know you posted this a long time ago. I was looking at it again with my dial up accelerator turned off, so that I got to see it in it’s full clarity, and wow, it is just beautiful. You are very talented. Glad you are here. Did you work through the marketing book.
