About the Item

We are pleased to present this refined antique Italian chest dating back to the early 18th century. Crafted from solid walnut, this chest boasts a sturdy construction that ensures durability, while its warm color lends it a versatile aesthetic that complements both classic and modern interiors. This chest has a clean, simple design that's equally suited to modern furnishings. Two delicately turned decorations on the sides of the front break up the linearity and create a distinctive visual accent. Its functionality is excellent, with a large compartment offering plenty of storage space, plus a small internal drawer. These types of chests were originally intended primarily for storing bedroom linens such as blankets or sheets, and were placed at the foot of the bed. Today, this chest, thanks to its elegance and heritage, can be placed in any room of the house, where it will be admired by all your guests. Consider it a stunning piece that will welcome you in the entryway, capture attention in the living room, or complement your bedroom. Wherever you choose to place it, it will be a splendid addition to your home, offering functionality and a piece of Italian history to your decor. Please note that it is in good condition, with signs of wear consistent with its age. The wood of the lid has a small defect due to age; the wooden board is no longer perfectly straight (as you can see in the photos). This defect does not affect the closure. For further information or inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us. We ship worldwide, so please feel free to send us your zip code for a personalized and affordable quote.
