This piece features a striking contrast of ebonized wood and hand-hammered brass plating, meticulously decorated with traditional brass nailhead (stud) patterns.
The chest is further elevated by colorful, enamel-style floral medallions and borders that add a refined touch of artistry to the front and top panels. Its interior is lined with a rich crimson velvet, making it as functional as it is beautiful—perfect for storing jewelry, keepsakes, or small linens.
Measuring at a versatile small scale, this chest sits on four turned "bun" feet and is equipped with heavy-duty brass side handles and a decorative front latch. It is an ideal accent piece for a bookshelf, a vanity, or as a sophisticated side table in a global-inspired interior. See less
