About the Item

Commode / chest of drawers hand-made in Italy in the early 1700s using walnut and decorated with walnut cross-banded veneer and walnut burl veneer. The chest of drawer is an Italian canterano from the norther part of the Lazio region and features three large inset drawers, all with beautiful and large hand-made dovetail joints. he drawer fronts are flat and decorated with cross-banded walnut veneer around the edges and book-matched burl walnut veneer. The drawer are large and work well, however it is important to make sure to used two hands for the bottom one because it may get stuck if it gets out of alignment. The baseboard is made of hand-carved molding and sits on hand-carved bracket feet. The top has a rounded ogee edge and is decorated with cross-banded veneer and book-matched herring bone veneer. This is a large and sturdy piece, however, despite its size it looks light and elegant thanks to the color and grain of the bleached wood. The large drawers are large enough for your kiddos to hide in them while playing hide and seek, so together with being decorative this can be a highly functional piece as well.
