Magnificent Italian Louis XVI Chest of Drawers, Late 18th Century

A masterful expression of neoclassical Italian craftsmanship, this original Louis XVI period chest of drawers is a rare and radiant piece. Constructed in warm walnut and inlaid with contrasting fruitwoods, it features exquisite marquetry throughout, highlighted by a central inlaid medallion of stylized acanthus leaves on both the top and the front. The top drawer is adorned with delicate floral motifs, while the lower two drawers are fitted with ornate gilt bronze pulls, each beautifully detailed. The case is framed with a geometric border and raised on tapered legs, further embellished with floral inlays and a striking chain-link motif along the base. Elegant, balanced, and historically significant, this chest is a refined statement piece for any sophisticated interior.
