17th-Century Tuscan Walnut Chest of Drawers with Maple Inlay
-
Description
A distinguished 17th-century Tuscan chest of drawers, crafted in solid and veneered walnut with elegant maple thread inlay. This superb piece exemplifies the refined woodworking traditions of early Baroque Tuscany, where proportion, craftsmanship, and material harmony were paramount. The rectangular form is enhanced by molded framing and chamfered corners, resting on a sturdy plinth base. Each of the four drawers retains its original hardware, displaying beautifully aged patina and hand-forged pulls that speak to its authenticity. The warm contrast between the walnut grain and the light maple detailing creates depth and character, showcasing the artistry of its maker. Entirely original, with minor restorations to the drawers that preserve its integrity, this chest is both historically significant and visually timeless. A rare and evocative example of 17th-century Italian craftsmanship, perfect for collectors or interiors seeking authentic Tuscan heritage and enduring beauty.
