The chest is made in warm-toned wood with a beautiful natural grain, combined with dark iron hardware, corner reinforcements, and clean rectangular handles.

The front has a sober, clear-lined appearance, yet gains a great deal of character from the lively wood grain and refined metalwork. The sides are also well finished and fitted with two sturdy carrying handles, designed to make the piece easier to move.

Thanks to its low, wide proportions, this tansu works beautifully in a contemporary interior. A striking piece for a living room, hallway, or bedroom, but also very suitable as a low storage unit or display piece beneath artwork, with ceramics, books, or plants on top. The combination of practical storage and understated presence makes this a timeless piece that fits effortlessly into both minimalist and more layered interiors.

The three spacious drawers offer ample room for textiles, documents, or other everyday items you prefer to keep neatly out of sight.

In very good condition in proportion to its age, with normal signs of age and light wear. An authentic and highly usable piece of furniture with a calm, refined presence. See less
