An elegant 18th-century Piedmontese chest of drawers, a refined expression of the neoclassical taste that spread under the influence of the Louis XVI style. The solid and harmonious structure is embellished with rich geometric and floral inlay decoration, executed with great artisanal skill using fine woods.

The front features three large drawers, each adorned with refined marquetry motifs featuring central rosette medallions, creating an elegant compositional rhythm. The top features a radiating decoration, a distinctive element that enhances the depth and chromatic variety of the woods used.

The sober and proportionate lines, combined with the lightness of the slightly arched legs, give the piece a formal balance typical of Piedmontese production of the period, capable of combining functionality with high decorative quality.
