The piece is crowned with an original swivel mirror, framed in finely turned wood, offering both function and decorative presence. Subtle age-related spotting to the mirror enhances its authentic antique character. Five generously sized drawers provide practical storage, each fitted with original brass pulls that have developed a handsome, time-earned patina. The chest is further elevated by sculptural lion’s paw feet, lending a sense of grandeur and traditional craftsmanship to its overall design.

Measuring 32 inches wide, 20 inches deep, and an impressive 72.75 inches high, this chest commands attention while remaining versatile for bedroom or dressing-area use. The original finish has mellowed beautifully over time, with minor surface scratches and scuffs consistent with age and careful use. In great antique condition overall, this chest offers a rare opportunity to add historical elegance and enduring craftsmanship to a refined interior. See less
