About the Item

French 19th century Directoire style fruitwood chest of drawers, appearing to be a semainier except with six drawers instead of the requisite seven. Below the modest wood top and rounded corners is a stack of six drawers inlaid with ebonized diamond shapes for graphic contrast to the glowing fruitwood. Note the bottom drawer is actually double-height with two diamonds to blend quietly in with the upper five. Sometimes referred to as a lingerie chest, the height and narrow proportions would elegantly host the clothing or personal effects of nearly anyone–suiting a range of transitional decorating tastes. All drawers glide with ease using simple brass ring pulls to open, no key is present to operate the locks. Short, cabriole legs lift the case from the floor. Cleaned, tightened, and polished with a French paste wax–ready for your interior. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition.
