This little gem of Piedmontese cabinetmaking is the most elegant and refined that the Savoyard capital has produced. In fact, it presents all the most typical characteristics of Turinese furniture made in the last decades of the 18th century, in the most perfect Louis XVI style of French taste. The furniture is absolutely authentic from the correct period in all its external and internal parts, including the original locks. It is a high-level chest of drawers entirely inlaid with geometric patterns on its entire surface with a perfect combination of all the precious light and dark wood species. It is often found in the most important Savoyard residences and in encyclopedias of antique furniture.
