Louis XVI Walnut Chest Of Drawers Circa 1780

A refined French Louis XVI chest of drawers in solid walnut, dating to circa 1780, distinguished by its elegant proportions and restrained neoclassical detailing.

The façade opens with five drawers arranged in three rows, all finely dovetailed and framed by delicate brass stringing that crisply outlines each drawer front. The upper row features three smaller drawers above two long graduated drawers, creating a balanced and highly functional composition. Fluted uprights define the corners, with the two front supports beautifully turned and tapering into elegant spinning feet that lend the piece a light architectural stance.

The original solid walnut top retains its rich warm tone and authentic surface character, complementing the refined geometry of the case. Brass pull handles and original escutcheons further enrich the design with understated sophistication. Both practical and timeless, this circa 1780 commode embodies the disciplined elegance of Louis XVI craftsmanship and integrates beautifully into classic or contemporary 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!
