18th Century Emilian Louis XVI Walnut Chest of Drawers

A refined 18th century Emilian Louis XVI chest of drawers in walnut, this elegant piece reflects the sophisticated cabinetmaking traditions of Emilia. The façade is beautifully arranged with two small upper drawers over two long drawers, creating a balanced and architectural silhouette. Rich walnut veneer with striking diagonal grain is framed by lighter banded inlay, adding depth and crisp definition to each drawer front.

Raised on slender tapered legs, the chest carries the graceful lightness typical of Louis XVI design, while retaining the solid craftsmanship associated with Emilian workshops. Oval brass pulls and escutcheons complement the warm tones of the walnut and enhance its understated neoclassical elegance.

Its refined proportions, rich veneer movement, and regional Italian character make it a versatile statement piece, ideal for a bedroom, salon, or entry where period authenticity and timeless sophistication are valued.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
