A refined Louis XVI period chest of drawers from Bologna, Italy, crafted in the late 18th century and richly inlaid in a harmonious blend of walnut, olive, maple, and ebony. This elegant piece is a testament to the superior craftsmanship of Emilian cabinetmakers, featuring three drawers with geometric inlay patterns that frame each panel in alternating tones. The top is equally detailed, with a central ebony panel bordered by intricate marquetry, echoing the symmetry and proportion of classical design. Tapered legs, also inlaid, provide balance and lightness to its architectural form. The entire piece is original, with a beautifully aged patina that highlights the natural warmth and texture of the noble woods. Decorative details on the corners and sides further enhance its elegance. A rare and collectible example of Bolognese neoclassical furniture, ideal for both traditional and transitional interiors.
