An Italian chest of drawers from the mid-18th century, circa 1770, in the Louis XV/XVI transition style, with walnut construction and a figured burl top.

The walnut has rich color and grain, the burl top adds distinctive figuring above the case, and the graduated drawers provide generous practical storage. The hardware and proportions are consistent with period components and assembly, and the surface patina indicates authentic age and use. A substantial piece for a bedroom, dressing room, or reception hall, where its serpentine form and burl top make it a natural focal point, with wear consistent with age and use.
