Antique Walnut Shapeless Chest Of Drawers Italy 17th Century
-
Description
A handsome 17th-century Italian chest of drawers in solid walnut, notable for its sculptural, molded façade and warm, deeply aged surface. The chest features three drawers arranged in a slightly shaped front, giving the piece a grounded and architectural presence. The top is made from a single walnut plank — a detail that speaks to both age and quality of timber selection during the period. The drawers slide smoothly, having been re-guided for functional daily use, and are fitted with bronze knobs that complement the rich tone of the wood. The sides are molded as well, creating continuity and visual weight without heaviness. The chest rests on classic onion-turned feet, which add lift and a gentle curve to balance the structured lines above. This commode embodies the character of 17th-century Italian craftsmanship: sturdy, warm, and timeless. It anchors a room with quiet confidence, working equally well in historic or modern interiors.
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! -
