Faint reddish and pink undertones appear within the light wood, adding warmth to the substantial form.
Decorative floral carving flanks each of the three drawers, while a carved scalloped skirt and graceful cabriole feet give the chest its traditional French silhouette. Two large brass handles on each drawer provide convenient access to generous storage. Old repairs seen along drawer fronts and skirt.
The top displays variations in wood color, grain, and texture that reflect the age and character of the chest. Small pieces of wood were inserted at an earlier point to fill natural knots, and these old repairs remain visible.
Residual evidence of dried wormhole activity is present throughout the hardwood. The activity is no longer active and does not affect the chest's function. Additional signs of age and use contribute to its naturally weathered appearance. Back was repaired/restored at an earlier point in time.
Restored, stable, and ready to use. A substantial French antique chest combining floral carving, generous drawer storage, and the soft appearance of bleached hard cherrywood.
