A remarkable and stunning chest of drawers in wonderful condition. This outstanding and versatile piece marries wow-factor with antique craftsmanship and will enhance any interior with its luxurious and sophisticated aesthetic.
likely originating as a late 19th / early 20th century indonesian chest, it has in recent decades been refinished by a country house estate in outstanding quality black and white checkerboard genuine cowhide. We can’t find another example the same, making this not only a splendidly attractive and wonderfully eye-catching piece but also most probably unique.
a great size for a versatile chest of drawers, it is reassuringly heavy thanks to the antique solid teak frame, which displays beautiful floral carvings to the base and reeding to the rounded feet.
the attention to detail and symmetry of the sumptuous black and white checkerboard finish is outstanding. The hand-stitched cowhide is of superb quality and even the handles have been finished in cowhide, while the back is finished in lovely quality black leather.
this extraordinary piece was reimagined in the early 2000s for an english country house and has remained in storage ever since and the drawers were likely added to the antique chest at this time.
all in all this is a timelessly elegant and sumptuously stunning chest of drawers, which blends traditional artisan quality with breathtaking, ultra-chic contemporary style. This refined-yet-extravagant blend of antique and modern is sure to be a knockout wherever it stands.

The cowhide is in wonderful condition and there are some to-be-expected scuffs to the antique base and the black leather at the back. Overall this sensational piece is in wonderful condition and if well looked after it should be just as magnificent for many decades to come – please see the photos.
