French Louis XV Style Bombe Chest With Marble Top

Opulent antique Louis XV style bombe two-drawer chest with a very unique marble top in tones of lavender-red, charcoal grey and cream and featuring bronze ormolu handles and decoration and a marquetry inlay veneer in a floral pattern. This piece came from an estate in Bridgeport from an elderly woman who passed and I do not have any provenance on it but it appears to be a genuine antique (although probably closer to nineteenth not dating to the era of the famed Sun King Louis XV in the seventeenth century). Besides being obviously French in style the unique and rare coloring of the marble top leads me to believe this piece was produced in France. That same type/coloring of marble with those mauve-y red tones is found in the Palace at Versailles, I believe it may a type sourced from Languedoc, France.

Notes: Some minor areas of discoloration to the veneer finish visible in photos. Make note of the line (natural split appearing possibly as the wood has aged) in the wood along the right side and also a few very small and not very noticeable chips to the marble top, the most significant of which at the back right is also shown in photos.
