Antique French Empire mahogany chest of drawers

This antique French Empire chest of drawers dates from the early 19th century (circa 1800–1830) and is a fine example of the refined and architectural aesthetic characteristic of the period. The piece features a clean and balanced design with four spacious drawers, all equipped with original bronze hardware, including decorative handles and lock entries.
