About the Item

A wonderfully primitive French chest of drawers from the 1950s, most likely a one-off or small workshop piece with all the charm that implies: honest proportions, straightforward craftsmanship, and a sculptural, almost architectural presence. Made in oak wood with a warm, time-softened patina, it features four generous drawers with simple integrated wooden pulls, and subtly rounded front edges that give the piece a quiet, tactile elegance. The construction is intentionally utilitarian—visible joins and small irregularities are part of its character—resulting in a cabinet that feels authentic, grounded, and effortlessly timeless. Perfect as a bedside chest, hallway storage, or compact cabinet in a minimalist or wabi-sabi interior, this is a piece that brings texture and soul without trying too hard. * We can pack and ship world-wide !
