About the Item
This elegant chest of drawers from the Directoire period, crafted in solid walnut, dates to the late 18th century and originates from Italy’s Veneto region, a hub of refined furniture production during the neoclassical era. Its restrained silhouette, typical of the Directoire style, reflects a transition away from the ornate flourishes of earlier periods, favoring clean lines and a sense of architectural clarity.
The façade is arranged with a pair of narrow drawers at the top, followed by three full-width drawers below, all fitted with oval brass escutcheons and original hardware. The walnut has aged gracefully, showcasing a luminous grain and a deep, warm patina developed over centuries.
The piece stands on gently tapering legs that curve slightly outward, providing a sense of lift and balance. Elegant yet functional, this chest offers ample storage while serving as a distinguished anchor for any room. Whether placed in a bedroom, hallway, or formal setting, it brings a timeless harmony rooted in Italian neoclassical tradition.
