This elegant five-drawer storage chest, crafted around 1980, is inspired by the Louis XV style. It comes from a private residence in the Loire Valley, a French region renowned for its rich furniture-making tradition.
The piece is made of solid oak, carefully sandblasted to reveal the natural beauty of the wood while preserving its original patina. This gentle restoration technique respects the grain and texture of the material, offering an authentic and natural finish without damaging the surface.
The chest stands on four cabriole legs and features a gently curved front, true to the Louis XV aesthetic. Each drawer is fitted with a patinated metal drop handle, adding to the piece’s subtle elegance and functionality.
Its five drawers make it a highly versatile piece of furniture. It can be used:
- in an entryway to store keys, documents, and daily essentials;
- in a bedroom as a lingerie chest;
- in a home office for stationery or small files;
- in a bathroom for towels or personal care items.
The chest is sold in its current condition, celebrating the charm of its natural materials and domestic history. A piece that is both decorative and practical.
