The tall and exceptionally compact frame is finished with finely grained mahogany veneer in a warm reddish-brown hue. Gently rounded fronts, eight drawers, and elegantly recessed brass-colored metal handles give the chest a light, almost minimalist appearance.

The special highlight is the removable accessory insert lined with green fabric. Its individual compartments offer space for watches, cufflinks, jewelry, and other personal items. A matching wooden clothes hanger from the same period is also included.

with a depth of only 38 cm, the chest of drawers offers a surprising amount of storage space while maintaining a light appearance and taking up minimal floor space. It is a stylish and practical focal point for a bedroom, dressing room, hallway, or sophisticated commercial interior.

The chest of drawers comes from a private West Berlin household and is a characteristic example of high-quality West German furniture production from the Mid-Century era, which is now rarely found. See less
