Italian Louis XVI Period Chest Of Drawers
A refined Italian Louis XVI period chest of drawers, beautifully crafted in solid walnut and enriched with elegant rosewood marquetry. The façade opens with three spacious drawers, each framed by a finely executed rosewood marquetry border that continues across the sides and top, creating a disciplined architectural rhythm characteristic of the Louis XVI style.
The warm walnut grain is beautifully animated, while the contrasting rosewood stringing adds depth, precision, and refined visual structure. Raised on four delicate turned spinning-top feet, the commode achieves a graceful sense of lift and proportion. Original brass pull handles and escutcheons accent each drawer with understated sophistication, complementing the crisp geometry of the marquetry work. The top retains the same solid walnut construction framed by rosewood inlay, reinforcing the harmony of the overall design.
Both practical and elegant, this chest integrates seamlessly into classic interiors or contemporary spaces seeking authentic 18th century Italian craftsmanship and timeless neoclassical balance.
