The piece is embellished with a spectacular walnut burl veneer, recognizable by the distinctive marbling and natural patterns on the drawer fronts.
The burl creates a rich and vibrant visual effect, enhanced by the golden-brown hue of the wood and the highly figurative grain.

The structure features six drawers, arranged in two columns, with fronts decorated with elegant brass fillets and ornamental motifs that sinuously follow the burl's design.

The gilded metal handles, with their deliberately decorative floral shape, are particularly striking, perfectly coherent with the aesthetics of the piece.

The profile is characterized by slightly contoured sides, highlighted vertical uprights, and tapered front legs, elements that lend a sense of lightness to the structure despite its substantial size.

A piece with a remarkable aesthetic impact, where the richness of the walnut burl wood interacts with the brass elements to create an elegant and refined ensemble.

A chest of drawers ideal for a classic, Art Deco, or eclectic setting, yet also capable of becoming a standout piece in a contemporary setting.

The piece has been polished with oil and shellac, and shows normal signs of age and use. See less
