Bombe chests are some of the uniquest furniture because of its distinctive curvy features and round design which are not commonly found in other furniture styles. This furniture is often very rare or often quite expensive to purchase but every once in a while bombe sets are seen on ebay for extraordinary prices. If you are willing to pay the shipping for a deal on the price you might do quite well. 
This antique chest by Polly McArthur & Associates shows an esquiste design with raised gesso ornament and decorated with brass mounts and hardware. This bombe chest has a marble top and is painted in a chinoiserie design. What a chest!! 
This outstanding chest has some of the most beautifully aged paint I have seen. The color is striking, which is considered a pea green base colour and if you look closely at the pictures you can see a natural crackle that took place over the years. This chest is Japanese painted with raised gesso decoration and an outstanding marble top. The seller, Polly McArthur & Associates says they purchased this outstanding chest from an apartment on the Place des Vosges. Check out the pictures
