About the Item

Sleek, spare, and quietly stunning, this early 19th-century French Louis Philippe chest of drawers feels remarkably modern despite its age. Topped with its original thick slab of black marble—shot through with dramatic white quartz veining—it features four wide drawers with no pulls, creating a clean, uninterrupted façade. The walnut veneer is extraordinary: richly figured, bookmatched, and aglow with a deep, mellow patina that speaks to two centuries of careful use. The Louis Philippe period (1830–1848) marked a shift in French design toward simplicity and restraint, moving away from the ornate flourishes of earlier styles in favor of strong silhouettes, refined proportions, and rich materials. Furniture from this era, like this chest, is celebrated for its quiet elegance and enduring practicality. Both handsome and functional, it’s a timeless piece that plays beautifully in a range of interiors—from classic European to tailored and contemporary. Shipping rates on this platform can be quite high—please ask us for a custom quote, and we’ll work with our incredible network of U.S. shippers to secure the best rate for you.
