A unique piece with a magnetic visual impact, perfect for adding personality to eclectic and contemporary interiors.
Crafted from a solid walnut frame, it displays the typical wavy and elegant lines of the era, complemented by the classic shell carving on the lower skirt.
The true highlight of this piece is its extraordinary artisanal finish, handcrafted approximately 15 years ago and finished with wax. This isn't just a simple flat color: the paint is characterized by a blend of dynamic pigments that react intensely to natural light and the surrounding environment. Depending on how the sun's rays or the room's lighting strike it, the surface reveals a changing nature, vibrating between rich emerald green and deep turquoise. A vibrant, iridescent effect that changes throughout the day.
The profiles and reliefs are highlighted by delicate, dull gold details, which illuminate the structure without weighing it down.
The richly patinaed bronze handles and decorations were intentionally left unpainted to create an authentic dialogue between the furniture's historical soul and its modern color palette.
The sturdy and spacious drawers feature traditional dovetail joints.
The chest of drawers is completely stable and solid, but shows signs of wear, such as scratches, chipping, light stains, and slight natural lifting of the veneer, consistent with its age and artistic finish. See less
