About the Item

Shaped with graceful curves, this French provincial serpentine chest of drawers is crafted from richly grained tiger oak, showcasing its striking natural pattern. The subtly bowed front features four drawers, each fitted with simple iron ring pulls, emphasizing the understated elegance of the piece. Paneled sides and a gently scalloped apron add refinement, while the curved feet and molded edges soften the structure. The wood has been scrubbed to its natural finish, highlighting the depth and movement of the grain. A timeless example of French craftsmanship, this chest blends functionality with classic design, making it a versatile addition to any interior. Found in France, circa 1830. Crafted from solid tiger oak wood using pegged and tongue-and-groove joinery. The drawers glide smoothly and are clean. Original iron ring drawer pulls and metal lock boxes are present; sadly, the escutcheons and skeleton keys have been lost somewhere along the way. The dresser boasts a natural finish, highlighting the beautiful grain of the wood. No structural damage. Minor dents, scratches, and wood separation are present, with overall wear consistent with age and use. Measures approximately 52.75” W x 24.125” D x 42.875” H.
