The clear tripartite division of the front, the calm lines, and the restrained Neoclassical touches result in a formally cohesive and well-proportioned piece of furniture. Historical Context: Chests of drawers of this type were a standard feature of bourgeois living rooms and bedrooms around the turn of the century, serving as a means of organized storage for textiles and everyday objects. They combine serial, handcrafted production with decorative details and mark the transition from the representative furniture of the 19th century to the more functional living spaces of the early 20th century. Features: - Refinished in a soft gray, mixed by the owner himself - Three-drawer front with a uniform division - Profiled pilasters with understated decorative relief. Design: In terms of design, the piece exhibits a construction based on Neoclassical forms, with emphasized verticality through the side pilasters and a calm, flat front design. Turned feet and profiled edges soften the clean lines without dominating the overall look. Originally used for storing linens and personal belongings, this chest of drawers is now equally suitable for bedrooms, dressing rooms, or as storage furniture in subtly designed living spaces. Dimensions in cm: Height 93 / Width 110 / Depth 57. Material and condition: Solid softwood, refinished in a delicate gray. Used, in good condition commensurate with age, with signs of wear; the drawers run smoothly. See less
