This elegant small Italian chest of drawers, circa 1800, showcases the refinement and craftsmanship typical of its origin. The chest features two drawers fitted with gilt-bronze escutcheons and original locks, complemented by finely figured walnut veneers that create a warm, lustrous patina. The clean rectangular form is enhanced by fluted side details, which add depth and visual rhythm to the design. Raised on tapered legs, the piece retains a sense of lightness while remaining sturdy and balanced. Inside, the drawers are lined in vibrant red fabric, offering both a practical and decorative element. Compact and versatile, this chest is ideal as a nightstand, side table, or accent piece, blending historical Italian charm with functional elegance.
