1950s chest of drawers in walnut burl and mahogany

An elegant and refined six-drawer chest dating back to the 1950s—a splendid example of Italian design with a sculptural quality. The piece is distinguished by its exquisite craftsmanship and the contrast between different wood types: the curved fronts of the six spacious drawers are veneered in rich walnut burl, featuring warm, amber-toned, knotty patterns, while the outer frame, the raised, rounded sides, and the drawer interiors are crafted from mahogany/rosewood with elegant, straight graining. Each drawer is embellished with original, sculptural, tapered handles and keyhole escutcheons made of gilded brass. Crowning the piece, the top surface features a refined, light-green/pastel-colored glass panel, set flush between the side edges. The entire structure rests on slender, tapered, pin-style legs, which lend a sense of great visual lightness to the piece. The furniture has been polished with oil and shellac; it shows normal signs of wear consistent with its age and use. Free shipping in France, possibility of shipping throughout Europe and worldwide.
