This exquisite chest of drawers masterfully channels the clean, elegant lines and sophisticated materiality of the German Biedermeier period (c. 1815–1848). Crafted during a mid-20th-century revival, the piece features striking, highly figured wood veneer across its façade, creating a dynamic, shimmering effect that highlights the quality of the timber. Its substantial form is beautifully articulated by classical detailing, including an overhang top with a gently rolled edge and contrasting ebonized pilasters flanking the drawer fronts. The result is a substantial storage piece that balances historical gravitas with luxurious, light-toned warmth, making it a stellar addition to a refined bedroom, study, or living space.
Offering ample storage across its four large drawers, this chest is as functional as it is beautiful, perfect for organizing linens, apparel, or decorative items. The chest measures 41.5" W × 18.5" D × 41.25" H. It is presented in very good vintage condition, showcasing rich, glossy lacquer work over the figured wood. Minor surface imperfections are present, consistent with age, contributing to a desirable, mellow patina that certifies its vintage provenance. Elevate your interior design with this timeless example of neoclassical-inspired European craftsmanship.
