About the Item
This distinctive 19th century two door French Louis XVI map chest combines the charm of traditional drawer-front design with the practicality of cabinet storage. Finely crafted, distinguished by its trompe l'oeil facade, the exterior features the appearance of eight drawers, framed with raised molding and finished in a deep red-brown paint, bordered in black with gilt highlights that accentuate its architectural lines. Brass escutcheons and pulls further enhance its antique character.
Behind the faux drawer fronts, double cabinet doors open to reveal spacious interior shelving- ideal for storing linens, books, or personal treasures. An unexpected and practical feature, that enhances both form and function. The shelves retain their original wood patina, showing warm wear that reflects the piece's age and authenticity.
Resting on bracket feet and finished with time worn elegance, this chest blends decorative appeal with discreet functionality. Is's distressed painted surface and understated gilt details make it a versatile statement piece for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
