Its compact scale gives the material pairing an intimate, sculptural quality.

The two-drawer form provides discreet storage while maintaining a low horizontal profile. At only 17 inches high, it is considerably lower than a conventional dresser.

The copper surface brings a metallic note to the warm rosewood below. Its 35.5-inch width and 16-inch depth make it a distinctive accent beside seating or within a carefully scaled entry arrangement.

The piece is marked underneath. Offered as one low chest.

Condition
Vintage condition with scuffs, minor nicks and rubbing to edges and corners.

Style Notes
The meeting of warm wood and copper adds texture without elaborate ornament. Its restrained Danish form works with leather seating, woven rugs and simple ceramic objects.

Dimensions
35.5 × 16 × 17 inches (W × D × H). See less
