Possibly one of the most unique pieces of furniture I have come across in my travels. Five drawers, each with a sculptural piece of hardware that depicts the head of African animals. Rhino, Water buffalo, Lion, Elephant and I think one is a panther but could be a leopard or tiger. But the BEST part are the two monkeys on this elaborate base. Very detailed composite monkeys appear to hold up the chest of drawers. You could use this in any room in a home. It appears to be a rare piece and few were made.
