Italian 18th Century Directoire Cherrywood Chest of Drawers

A refined Italian 18th century Directoire chest of drawers, beautifully crafted in warm cherrywood with elegant neoclassical restraint. The façade is composed of two smaller upper drawers above three long graduated drawers, each fitted with original brass escutcheons and pulls that emphasize the clean geometry of the period. Slender ebonized columnar stiles with delicate gilt accents frame the case, lending an architectural rhythm and subtle contrast to the rich reddish-brown tones of the cherrywood. Raised on graceful tapered legs, the chest possesses a light and balanced silhouette that is distinctly Directoire in spirit. The top displays a beautiful uninterrupted surface with lovely natural figuring and depth of color, while the overall proportions make it highly versatile for use in a bedroom, hallway, or sophisticated living space. Both functional and decorative, this late 18th century Italian commode offers timeless elegance, disciplined lines, and exceptional warmth.

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!
