Product description
An elegant Italian chest of drawers dating back to the 1950s, distinguished by a striking decorative presence and a refined Art Deco aesthetic.
The piece is embellished with spectacular walnut burl veneer, notable for the distinctive swirling patterns and natural figuring on the drawer fronts. The burl creates a rich, dynamic visual effect, enhanced by the wood's golden-brown hue and highly figured grain.
The structure features six drawers arranged in two columns; their fronts are adorned with elegant brass stringing and ornamental motifs that follow the sinuous lines of the burl pattern.
The gilded metal handles are particularly eye-catching; their floral, highly decorative shapes harmonize perfectly with the piece's overall aesthetic.
Its profile features gently contoured sides, accentuated vertical uprights, and tapered front legs—elements that lend a sense of lightness to the structure despite its substantial size.
This piece makes a striking visual statement, where the richness of the walnut burl complements the brass elements to create an elegant, sophisticated look.
An ideal chest of drawers for classic, Art Deco, or eclectic interiors, yet equally capable of serving as a focal point in a contemporary setting.
The piece has been finished with oil and shellac and shows normal signs of age and use.
