Elegant Louis-Philippe tall chest crafted from solid walnut, dating from the late 19th century. It features six drawers, all framed with fine mouldings and fitted with their original brass knobs. The piece comes with two functional keys, and each drawer slides smoothly and locks securely — a testament to its high-quality craftsmanship.
The walnut was carefully selected for its warm, expressive grain, and the chest was constructed using traditional joinery techniques: dovetail joints for the drawers and mortise-and-tenon assembly for the structure, ensuring lasting durability.
The moulded feet and solid walnut top reflect the understated elegance characteristic of the Louis-Philippe period. The piece has not been restored but has been professionally cleaned, making it ready for immediate use.
Originally used for storing linens or important documents, this chest was found in the Loire Valley, a region known for its rich heritage. Today, it will add both function and timeless charm to a bedroom, study, or hallway.
