Early 18th-Century Emilian Walnut Chest of Drawers with Fruitwood Inlay

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
An exceptional early 18th-century chest of drawers from the Emilia region of Italy, crafted in solid walnut and delicately veneered with fine fruitwood fillets. This elegant piece showcases the perfect harmony between structure and decoration, with clean architectural lines framed by subtle inlays that emphasize its refined geometry. The four spacious drawers retain their original locks and handles, a rare and highly desirable feature that speaks to the chest’s authenticity and preservation. The top displays a warm, lustrous patina, enriched by centuries of gentle aging. Resting on a molded plinth base, the piece combines strength and grace typical of early 18th-century Emilian craftsmanship. Entirely original in all its parts, this chest of drawers embodies timeless Italian artistry—sober yet sophisticated—making it an ideal addition to both classical and contemporary interiors seeking genuine historical character and enduring beauty.

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!
