19th Century Small Louis XVI–Style Walnut Chest with Two Drawers
This small Louis XVI–style walnut chest features two front-opening drawers, the upper fitted with a functioning lock and key and the lower with a simple brass knob. The proportions are compact and slightly elevated, giving the piece an uncommon vertical profile while remaining visually balanced. The walnut displays a warm, even patina with natural grain variation consistent with age. The carcass is constructed with straight, tapered legs and clean lines, reflecting the restrained neoclassical vocabulary associated with the Louis XVI style.
All four sides are finished, allowing the chest to be placed freely within a room rather than confined to a wall. The drawers operate smoothly and retain their original interior structure. This piece functions well as a bedside chest, side table, or small storage element in spaces that benefit from a modest footprint and authentic period character. Its simplicity, scale, and material quality make it a versatile example of traditional French craftsmanship.
