The rectangular form features three drawers veneered in richly figured, bookmatched walnut, creating bold symmetrical grain patterns. Each drawer is fitted with round brass pulls that complement the warmth of the wood.

Our workshop has structurally revised the chest, ensuring it is stable and functional, while the walnut surfaces have been gently polished to preserve the natural patina and depth of tone.
