Antique Directoire Chest Of Drawers In Walnut

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A refined example of Italian neoclassical furniture, this early 19th-century Directoire chest of drawers exudes timeless elegance and functionality. Originating in Italy and constructed from solid walnut, it showcases the restrained architectural lines that define the Directoire period.

The chest features four wide, graduated drawers, each fitted with original oval brass escutcheons and keyholes, which contrast beautifully with the walnut’s warm, richly aged patina. The slightly splayed legs provide balance and structure, lending the piece an air of subtle sophistication.

With its clean design and slender silhouette, it integrates easily into both traditional and transitional spaces. Ideal for use in a bedroom, foyer, or even as a refined storage piece in a living area, this chest offers practicality without compromising on style. Its craftsmanship and simplicity reflect a period of political and aesthetic transition, making it not just a functional piece but also a historical one—quietly luxurious and unmistakably Italian.
