Semainier a traditional French form, always of seven equal-sized drawers, one for each day of the week (Semaine). It holds personal linen - freshly supplied by your bonne, or chambermaid, if you're lucky (avez de la chance). The veneer is a drappe bubinga, so named because the way it is sliced from the log gives it a "draped" appearance. Pulls and leg trim are Corian, a composite material, strong and carveable, that I use where les vieuxs ebenistes might have employed ivory.
