  • Louis XVIII Style Restoration French Chest Of Drawers
    Located in Prato, Tuscany
    Attention: the chest of drawers would need to be restored, we offer it at a very attractive price in the condition in which it is (see photos), if, at the time of purchase you prefer the cabinet to be restored, we will provide this at an additional cost of € 1200. We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects.

The style is a classic of the Restoration period; after the reign of Louis XVIII...
