ON HOLD - 18th Century Italian Directoire Chest of Drawers

This piece is an 18th-century Italian chest of drawers in the Directoire style, a design aesthetic that bridges the gap between the ornate Louis XVI style and the more austere Empire style that followed. The chest features three drawers, each adorned with elegant brass ring pulls and keyhole escutcheons, which are typical of the period. The wood has a rich, warm finish, likely mahogany or walnut, with inlay or veneer details that add to its sophisticated appearance. The clean lines and slightly tapered legs are also characteristic of the Directoire style, emphasizing a more restrained and classical approach to furniture design. This chest would be an excellent addition to a collection of fine antique furniture, offering both functional storage and timeless beauty.
