About the Item

A beautiful and refined Louis XVI period chest of drawers, crafted in Italy in the late 18th century and veneered in rich walnut with exquisite inlay work. This elegant piece features three drawers—two deep and one narrow—expertly rebated into the frame for a seamless appearance. The chevron-patterned walnut veneer is framed with geometric inlaid borders in contrasting wood species, highlighting the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to proportion typical of the Louis XVI style. The facade is adorned with classical detailing, including original brass hardware and escutcheons, all intact and beautifully aged. The chest rests on slender tapered legs, lending a sense of lightness to its otherwise stately form. Completely original and in excellent overall condition, it requires only minor conservative restoration. This piece represents a high-quality example of 18th-century Italian neoclassical furniture—timeless, versatile, and perfectly suited for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
